Jedediah Garland, proprietor of the Hitching Post Hotel on
the
Garland Ranch at Cowboy Creek, New Mexico, and his hotel
cook,
Paz, have one thing in common---getting Jed's three
granddaughters
married and produce more grandchildren. Tina, the
granddaughter
now getting married at the Hitching Post, is one that Paz
and
Jedediah have in common.
Jed is setting sights on the second
granddaughter, Jane Garland, getting hitched to Pete
Brannigan,
his devoted ranch manager. To make sure Jane gets the man
she
has loved since a teen, Jed has no qualms about making
this a reality
no matter what tactics he has to take.
Jane is a photojournalist traveling worldwide with high-
powered
assignments and hasn't one iota of motherhood in her.
Pete is a
divorcee with an ex who cares more for her high-profile
modeling
career than her children. Her New York life and ambitions
have left
five-year-old Rachel and two-year-old Eric motherless,
with over a
year since she's paid a visit.
Jane is joining the family to prepare
for the wedding plus document the restoration of the ranch
and
honeymoon hotel on the property, and setting up a
website. This hot-
smoking man intends to be "hands-off" when it involves
allowing a
woman near his children who puts her career before family.
But of
course nothing ever goes to plan, especially with Jed
assigning
Pete to play tour guide for Jane. Jane does some soul
searching
for what she truly wants for her life; especially since
she has fallen
in love with not only Pete, but his adorable children as
well.
This talented author never fails to add that magic to her
stories.
Throw in a couple of little children, a rough, tough
cowboy and a
gorgeous woman and how can you miss? Pete's personal fear
for
his children is emotional and every woman's dream that the
children always come first! A RANCHER OF HER OWN had me
easily at page one
and made it impossible to put the book down. I have had
the
pleasure of reading other creations from Barbara White
Daille and
she just keeps the plots and characters getting more
vibrant and
colorful with each tale. Finding renewal in a partner and
a reason to
love again, always finds a place in my heart. I truly
love the
Hitching Post Hotel series and can't wait for the
story of the third
granddaughter!!
A REASON TO STAY Ranch manager Pete Brannigan has no interest in playing tour guide to a city slicker like Jane Garland. But spending a few days with the headstrong photographer is a small price to pay for everything her grandfather has given the single dad. Though Pete's drawn to Jane's sharp wit and striking beauty, he won't hurt his young children by falling for another woman who puts her career before family. Jane's seen the world through her camera…and used it to shield her emotions. With Pete, she can finally let her guard down. If only he could do the same. Despite their powerful bond, Pete still can't trust Jane with his kids or his heart. But if he keeps pushing her away, he may ruin any chance their relationship has to develop.
