The Fallen Cowboy

Book excerpt: The Fallen Cowboy weaves a tale of love, loss, and courage set against the backdrop of the picturesque Promise Point Horse Rescue Ranch. With a captivating new cover, this contemporary western romance will leave readers yearning for more as they witness the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds. The only thing more dangerous than a bucking bronco is the passion between two stubborn hearts. Out of commission saddle bronc rider Jess Coldiron is putting his horse skills to work by serving as the Executive Director of the Promise Point Horse Rescue Ranch. Jess’s gift for taming wild broncos and pretty women has taught him that both can take a man from zero to ninety in seconds, shake him senseless, and damn near kill him if he landed the wrong way. And Jess had. So bumping anything but heads with the beautiful Mallory Montgomery ─ his sister-in-law’s estranged sister ─ is out of the question. Mallory came to Santa Camino, Texas, to fulfill her mother’s dying wish of reuniting with her sister, not to fall for a cowboy with a Texas-sized chip on his shoulder about the limp in his swagger and the woman in his past. But the ruggedly handsome, once famous bronc rider has a sexy smile and a fiery touch that ignites a spark in her every time they’re together. While Mallory understands the pain that has left Jess jaded, she refuses to settle for anything less than his complete surrender. As their undeniable attraction deepens, she’s determined to help Jess conquer his past. But will seducing the fallen cowboy cost Mallory her heart? keywords: cowboy romance, romance, small town & rural, westerns, contemporary, family saga, cowboy romance book, dark past, rodeo, bronc rider, Texas, alpha hero, protector, tortured hero
