From Coffee Time Romance and More: "A Great Romance for the Holidays and Anytime You Like!

Due to the death of a brother she barely knew, Missy has just become co-owner of a horse ranch in Oregon. This is great timing for her as her old boss and job are now dust. However, things may just be a bit more than she bargained for.

Brent is put off by Missy being there. He does not want anyone coming in and taking his dreams away. Dreams he has worked hard on and wants to keep on enjoying. He truly believes that Missy will not stick around for very long.

Missy is thrown into a situation she is very unsure of, has many trust issues behind her, and did not know her now dead brother very well. She is unsure what to do, but with the help of one handsome cowboy showing her the ropes, she just might be able to make a life here.

Sample text:

If her name meant anything to the tall cowboy who leaned against the porch rail, he didn’t react. Instead, he appraised her with sky blue eyes while the afternoon light slanted against him. She’d pulled up to the house and introduced herself, and now waited for his name or a hello.

“The name ain’t ringing a bell,” he said quietly, then looked her up and down. “And believe me, I’d remember your face.”

Would you now? It sounded like a compliment, but he didn’t smile with it. Missy wasn’t sure what to make of him.

His voice carried like a gentle breeze. The man, however, looked rough as the landscape around them. Hard stance, set jaw, arms folded. His long, lean body might be perfect for pressing against a woman, but his eyes were distrusting.

The sign clearly said Ocean View Stables, so she knew she had the right place.

“Melissa Nelson,” she repeated. This was awkward. “Ben may have called me Missy.” Come on, nothing? She rubbed her arms through her jacket, chilled from the cool Oregon weather and this overly warm welcome. “I’m Ben’s sister. Aren’t you Mr. Hatcher?”

“Nope.” He tilted his head and stared some more, like he’d never seen a woman before. The daylight darkened. Raindrops plopped on her while she waited for some kind of answer. Any kind of answer would be nice. “Ben’s lawyer called you,” he added, “And you came right over. I see.”

He wore a tan Stetson on his head, a rich blue shirt with sleeves rolled up, snug Wranglers, and boots. He’d make a great bedroom poster, something to ogle on lonely nights, but his too sexy look only distracted her.
