How to Train a Cowboy

Delilah Kersey has two degrees, a half-finished dissertation, and a bank balance headed straight for zero.

What she does not have is one single day of experience training a dog.

Which is a detail she chooses not to volunteer when she overhears a man in the next booth offering room and board to anyone who can work with his dogs.

She is, after all, the daughter of the man who invented the Kersey Method. She learned every bit of it at his elbow and never once got to use it. How hard can it be?

Joseph "Zero" Renshaw earned that callsign the hard way—zero excuses, zero room for failure. It still wasn't enough to bring his best friend home. The man his sister married.

Now he's got a run-down ranch, a sister who won't get out of bed, and four rescues who have decided that rules are for other dogs—which is why his nephew is afraid of them.

He did not survive a war to be outmaneuvered by a Labrador. And he does not need a smart-mouthed art historian who argues with him, laughs at him, and makes the place feel like a home instead of a waiting room.

Four dogs. One grumpy cowboy. Zero qualifications.

The dogs are the easy part.

How to Train a Cowboy is a grumpy-sunshine, forced-proximity romance set on a run-down East Texas ranch—sweet, wholesome, and full of heart.
