Romancing the West Blog Hop – Whatcha going to do with a cowboy?
My first love was the teen who came to help my stepfather put up hay every summer. Too young to help, I was forced into the kitchen to prepare the mid day meal while the man of my dreams threw hay bales onto the flat bed trailer, stacking them high, then transferring the bales to the haystack near the pasture.
Summer in Idaho can get hot. Shirts for the guys, optional. By the time we all sat down to dinner (what more civilized people call lunch), I was tongue tied and beet red. Especially if anyone talked to me.
So cowboys in Wranglers and boots and hats flip my switch. I’ve never been attracted to suits and dress shoes.

Here’s the blurb -
Barb Carico’s all about business. Now that her best friend tied the knot with Barb’s new business partner, she’s busier than ever. Managing Jesse Sullivan’s career and public persona can be a handful. Add in an aging mother who goes through home health nurses like candy, Barb’s hanging on the edge.
Her one salvation? Hunter Martin, prodigal son of Martin Family Dairy and, hopefully, Jesse’s next sponsor. After his brother’s death, Hunter’s become an instant dad to his seven-year-old niece. For Hunter, the rodeo weekend with Barb is the perfect excuse to relax.
When their dinner turns into a quick trip to a Vegas wedding chapel, both Barb and Hunter agree their nuptials were a mistake Barb doesn’t know anything about being a wife or mother but she needs one favor. A favor she’ll trade her lifestyle, independence, and even risk her heart to make come true.
