Should?ve Been A Cowboy

They say clothes make the man. If that's the case then Tyler O'Connelli would vote for Alex Keller's new cowboy garb. He was gorgeous the first time she saw him at her brother's wedding but now he's rugged and tanned. She had to admit ranching had its benefits.

Alex's new position as marketing director on the Last Chance ranch had been a decidedly major step for the descendents of Eleanor and Archie Chance. And right at this moment, he dreaded having to admit that his first event -- an open house -- was running into some bad luck. First the country band he hired cancelled last minute and instead of the three tents he arranged for -- only one was delivered. The event was going from bad to worse with little or no time to turn this mess around. Tyler's visit to her sister couldn't have come at a better time and her expertise in party planning could just be the miracle Alex needed.

Tyler and Alex had to find a way to deal with their mutual attraction in a sensible, intelligent, and realistic manner but they both underestimated the extent of their need for each other. The plan was simple -- get their fill of each other while Tyler was staying at the ranch. With no regrets Tyler would return to her career as activity director abroad cruise ships.

Alex remembered how difficult their parting was ten months earlier after their first brief fling -- he realized that he had invested more of his heart than he wanted to admit. Question was whether Tyler had any regrets. As the saying on the ranch goes -- Chance men are lucky when it counts. Now that Alex was considered one of the family, he could only hope that luck would rub off on him. It wasn't a question of whether they had feelings for each other -- that was a given -- it was what to do with these feelings -- face them or deny them. Either way would lead to someone getting hurt. Alex would have to face saying goodbye again left behind to deal with something that probably would have been better off left alone -- but he loved Tyler too much to stand in the way of her dreams. Past experience had taught Alex that tying someone down would only lead to hurt for both of them. He had made his choice to make his home on the ranch with people who had become his family. Tyler still had the wanderlust she seemed to inherit from her parents. How could these two lifestyles ever mesh? Answer was rather simple -- if Alex and Tyler wanted a life together their love would have to be the catalyst for making a future.

This was a sexy passionate tale of a couple who, at face value, shouldn't be candidates for a love match but Thompson makes you a believer that with love anything is possible.
