Title: Rodeo Baby

Author: Mary Sullivan

''A SMALL TOWN. A BIG SURPRISE.''

''Handsome, strange men are not on Violet Summer's radar--especially ones sitting in her diner in too-new cowboy gear. She'll eat an old boot if Sam Michaels is a real cowboy. Nope, there's a reason Mr. Phony Cowboy and his teenage daughter are here in Rodeo, Montana...and she'll find out the truth.''

''Sam just wants to get back to New York. He doesn't need complications, like the gorgeous diner owner who irritates and intrigues him at the same time. Or a simmering attraction that results in one unforgettable night--and an unexpected bun in the oven! Now he's torn between his big-city life...and becoming a real cowboy for good.'' Show/Hide
