Cole: Cupids and Cowboys Book 8 (Cupids and Cowboys #8)
Zina Abbott
Amelia Barker, whose father involves himself with local and state politics as much as his cattle ranch, worries she might not have much choice in the man she weds. After already witnessing one of her friends married off as a political pawn, she fears she might suffer the same fate. Contrary to her parent’s wishes, she spends more time on her horse roaming their ranch and the surrounding foothills than she does pursuing “womanly” activities that would please her stepmother. From afar, she has watched her father’s cowhands work the family spread. One in particular has caught her eye, but she doubts anything can come of her interest in him. Then again, she does not take into account her sister, Lucy.
Cole Meyer is the stepson of Kendrick Denham, whose story you will find in Kendrick, Book 9 in the Bachelors & Babies series.
