Cowboy Country

Series: Cowboy Country/Home on the Ranch

Lately, it seems widowed rancher Jon Rider just can't climb out of the cow muck. Since his wife's death, raising his seven kids has become impossible to manage—especially with a ranch to run and a household that sends housekeepers fleeing in panic. But then someone notifies social services.…

Beth Lindstrom is doing more than fixing up the abandoned cafe left to her by her aunt.  She's escaping from the threatening phone calls following the death of her husband in the car crash that nearly claimed both their lives as well as that of their daughter.  The last thing she wants is to get involved with ex-cop Joel McAllen, who has suffered through the death of his daughter and the subsequent acrimonious divorce from his wife.  He can never think of remarrying, of being responsible for a child again, but as things escalate in the terror campaign against Beth, he realizes he already is...

Beth was looking for a fresh start and the inherited cafe in the middle of nowhere was her ticket to it.  As a young widow with a young daughter, starting over in a small town was just what she needed.  Especially since her late husband's killer was after her now.

Book blurb: A second chance in Texas. For Beth Lindstrom, the rundown cafe she inherited in the small town of Lone Wolf was simply a means to an end. Selling it and moving on was the young widow's only hope of a fresh start for her and her five-year-old daughter-though she doubted there was any place on earth they'd really feel safe ever again.
