One who painted himself hard on the outside but was actually soft and warm and kind … everything a woman could want to hang onto. If she’d make up her mind and do it. ----- Leonard Swan grew up as the average kid in an average Texas home in the suburbs. His career as a cowboy came along late in his teens. He’s taken to the lifestyle well enough, but still has doubts about how he measures up. After all, he has the real thing around him every day in men like Jared Flint and Tyson Pyke. Brigid O’Neal is at the Double R Ranch to write an article about the modern cowboy. Being there, however, is the result of the animosity of her boss. With what she knows about him, he can’t afford to fire her, but he can make life hard. Meeting Leonard on day one is a pleasant surprise. They have fun together and an undeniable attraction, despite their huge lifestyle differences. And her usual need to stay uncommitted. He’s the perfect guide to show her the ropes, and a gentleman with a kind heart and a sexy smile. For the first time in her life, she might have met a man worth hanging onto. Yet the unexpected arrival of a hated former beau, combined with the secret she holds, pressure her to make a disastrous choice. One that, without God’s help and forgiveness, might destroy the promising relationship with her cowboy for good. Book 3 in the COWBOYS OF THE DOUBLE R series by author, SUZANNE D.

Nothing softened a man better than the touch of a woman. He knew this first hand and had sought the last five years to forget it. There it was again, though. The warmth, the joy her laughter gave. The sparkle that kissed a man’s mind when he knew she’d been around. And an ache in his heart where emptiness lived. He wanted to feel something again but feared the truth he’d hidden so well might ruin his chances... moreNothing softened a man better than the touch of a woman.

Five years later, he’s gotten right with God but still carries around the guilt of his actions … and hasn’t repaired the rift it left between him and his family. Wendy Halloran hasn’t dated since an old boyfriend dumped her for someone else, years ago. She’s poured her energies into working, instead, spending days and nights at the local dance-hall restaurant. A late-night encounter with Dex gives her a glimpse of what she’s been missing. She should let go and enjoy life more. Yet trusting a man again proves hard to do, especially when there’s so much baggage between them, and soon, the secrets they haven’t shared send them, full circle, back to worst days of their lives. Only this time, it includes murder. Book 4 of the COWBOYS OF THE DOUBLE R Series by author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS. less
