Romance Contemporary | Western

It takes a village to raise a child – and a cowboy to open a woman's heart.

Rodeo cowboy Ridge Cooper has always had one goal in life: stay in the saddle for eight seconds. Now, sidelined by a career- ending injury, he's trapped at his family's ranch outside Wynott, Wyoming with nothing to do. But when he volunteers to teach foster kids to ride, he finds a new purpose in life-one that matters far more than buckles and babes.

For social worker Sierra Dunn, a job managing a group home in the tiny town of Wynott, Wyoming is just a quick stop along the way to changing the world. But try as she might, she can't help getting attached to the ten-year-old boys in her care. The five little refugees from abusive homes steal her heart, but there's plenty left over for local rodeo legend Ridge Cooper.

Sierra tells herself it's time to move on, but the town's sense of community and the homey atmosphere at the ranch tug at the heartstrings of this street-smart city girl. And when one of the boys is in danger, she learns that with the help of a faithful cowboy, she can change the world one child at a time.
