A Cowboy for Christmas
Bobbi Smith
Genre:
Historical Fiction
Blurb:
Dan Roland has always gone it alone. And no prissy miss from back East is going to convince him to do otherwise. Even if she does have the most alluring brown eyes he’s ever seen. But when his boss suddenly orders that he help the brunette beauty find a buried treasure, the rugged ranch foreman doesn’t have any choice but to offer his protection.
It’s not just the weather leaving Penny Anderson feeling a bit chilly upon her return to Texas. First she gets the news that her ailing father has hidden the family fortune. Then she learns Dan Roland is the only one he trusts to help her find it. And yet one teasing, tempting kiss at a time, he starts to thaw her out until all she yearns for is A COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS.
Excerpt One:
“How much farther is it?” Penny asked as she rode behind Dan on the steep, rocky trail. After several hours in the saddle, they had to be getting close.
“Probably another two or three miles,” he answered. “Are you doing all right?”
“Yes, though it’s hard to believe that it was just a few weeks ago I was at the Chase ball. It seems like an eternity - almost like another life.”
She wondered what her friends would think of her now if they saw her bundled up against the cold in workman’s clothes, riding astride out in the middle of nowhere. Her life back then seemed like a fairy tale.
Fairy tale –
She let her gaze linger on Dan, seeing the day’s growth of beard on his jawline and liking how it added an aura of danger about him. She hadn’t even realized she’d needed saving when he’d whisked her away from the ballroom. But without him, she wouldn’t have been reunited with her father. There was no denying Dan, that was for sure.
Penny urged her mount forward to ride beside him as the trail widened.
“Do you miss being in the city?” he asked.
“I miss my friends, but being back here with Papa means a lot to me.”
Dan wondered if one of the friends she was missing was the man she’d been dancing with when he’d shown up at the ball. He didn’t like the thought of her in another man’s arms.
“Let’s take another look at the map,” he said to take his mind off how much he wanted to hold her close. “The sooner we find your father’s money, the sooner we can get back.”
