How to Handle a Cowboy
Cowboys of Decker Ranch Series
by Joanne Kennedy
His rodeo days may be overâ¦
Sidelined by a career-ending injury, rodeo cowboy Ridge Cooper is desperate to find an outlet for the passion he used to put into competing. So he takes on the challenge of teaching roping skills to troubled ten-year-olds in a last-chance home for foster kids, and finds it's their feisty supervisor who takes the most energy to wrangle.
But he'll still wrangle her heart
When social worker Sierra Dunn seeks an activity for the rebellious kids at Phoenix House, she soon learns she's not in Denver anymore. Sierra is eager to get back to her inner-city work, and the plan doesn't include forming an attachment in Wyomingâespecially not to a ruggedly handsome and surprisingly gentle local rodeo hero.
“Realistic and romantic⦠Kennedy's forte is in making relationships genuine and heartfelt as she exposes vulnerabilities with tenderness and good humor.”â
