The Cowboy Refuses to Lose — Wanda Ann Thomas

Swedish immigrant, BRIGETTA LYNDTZ makes the difficult decision to leave her nanny job in Wyoming and fulfill her dream of owning and operating a bakery. The opportunity in Chicago won't last long. All she must do is leave behind the family she's come to cherish and, as one of the few marriageable women in the frontier town, fend off the cowboys who come courting. She considers them crude oafs -- except for maybe one determined young cattleman.

Aspiring rancher GARRETT HAVEN yearns to overcome the spirited Brigetta's disdain of cowboys and win her trust and affection. He sure admires her good-hearted concern for folks, and is certain her dislike of bronco riding and cattle herding arises from fear for his safety. But Garrett's hopes for the future could turn to ash when a cattle baron intent on stealing his land strikes a disastrous blow. Beaten, bloodied, and penniless, Garrett rejects defeat. He vows to win Brigetta's love and save his ranch, even if it means risking his neck in the rodeo ring.

Will the nanny pursue her dream? Or will she linger too long over the delectable temptation of…The Cowboy Who Refuses to Lose?
