A Rancher for Rosie

Book excerpt: There's only one rancher for Rosie Duggan, but the course of true love never did run smooth. It is springtime, 1871, and Rosie Duggan is in love with Joshua Hampton, a handsome rancher's son. Joshua is seven years her junior, but they have fallen hard and hope to marry. Joshua's parents have other ideas. Firstly, they believe that Rosie is too old for their son. Secondly, they do not want Joshua marrying into the Duggan family. They believe that the Duggans are tainted by their association with Catherine Montgomery and her mysterious past. Rosie only wants the best for everyone she loves, so she makes several difficult decisions, preparing to sacrifice her own happiness to protect those around her. But sometimes the people we love are prepared to make sacrifices, too, so Rosie could well find the happiness she craves with her gorgeous rancher.
