Beschreibung des Verlags
One woman wants to win a bet. One man wants to become a rodeo champion. One little girl may give them both something even better—from USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle.
“A commitment-phobic rodeo star and a divorcée with secrets find love in this wholesome romance. . . . As uplifting as it is sweet.”—Publishers Weekly
Working at a little shop on Main Street in a small town is exactly the break that executive Merry Anna Foster needs following her divorce. She’s made a bet with her ex-husband that she can live on the amount of money she’s giving him in alimony. If she can do it, then Kevin will have to stop complaining and leave her alone. But after three months of this new life, will she even want to leave Antler Creek?
Adam Locklear, bull rider and owner of the local feedstore, is having the best year of his rodeo career. He’s also a bit distracted by the pretty new neighbor living in his old bunkhouse. But Adam has no time for matters of the heart. He’s got his future all mapped out, and that future doesn’t involve a woman just yet. It doesn’t involve parenting a little girl either. However, Carly Fowler still suddenly leaves five-year-old Zan—the daughter Adam didn’t know he had—in his care.
Is it possible that the future holds a life even better than what Merry Anna and Adam had each dreamed of? One that includes both tenderness and even love—not just for each other but for Zan too.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A commitment-phobic rodeo star and a divorcée with secrets find love in this wholesome romance from Naigle (The Shell Collector). Merry Anna Foster is staying in small-town Antler Creek as a temporary reprieve from her stressful life as the COO of her family's business—and to prove a point to her family that she's capable of living on modest means. Bull rider Adam Locklear has no time for distractions, not even from the pretty newcomer, but a day making pies and teaching her to horseback ride leaves him rethinking this stance. With Merry Anna's parents pressuring her to get back to work and her lazy ex-husband pestering her for more alimony, she wonders if the handsome cowboy will still give their relationship a chance once she reveals her true identity—and when Adam's ex drops off a five-year-old daughter he never knew existed, all his plans change overnight. This endearing couple find solace in each other and bring maturity, patience, and understanding to the many obstacles they face. The result is as uplifting as it is sweet.
