Cowboy Protector Collection

Book excerpt: Three cowboy protector romances in one collection for the first time by New York Times bestselling authors Linda Lael Miller, B.J. Daniels, and Delores Fossen. The Man from Stone Creek by Linda Lael Miller When trouble strikes in Haven, Arizona, Ranger Sam O'Ballivan is determined to sort it out. He arrives posing as the new schoolteacher, and discovers his first task: bringing the ranchers' children under control. So he starts with a call on Maddie Chancelor, older sister of a rowdy schoolboy. Maddie turns out to be a woman whose prim and proper demeanor is belied by the fire in her eyes. Working undercover to capture rustlers and train robbers has always kept Sam isolated and his heart firmly in check—until now. But something about the spirited Maddie tempts him to start down a path he swore he'd never travel… Justice at Cardwell Ranch by B.J. Daniels Six years ago, Dana Cardwell found her mother's will in a cookbook and became sole owner of the Cardwell Ranch in Big Sky, Montana.

As danger draws closer to the ranch, deputy marshal Liza Turner quickly realizes that Jordan Cardwell isn't the man the town made him out to be. Lone Wolf Lawman by Delores Fossen Breaking into the home of the woman who shared his bed three months ago isn't Texas Ranger Weston Cade's usual MO.
