George Pryce is a man who loves his life of leisure, the
only true life of a gentleman, as far as he's concerned.
But being a gentleman is not a useful enough profession for
his demanding father, so George searches for the easiest
way to make his own money. After reading about the fortune
that could be made effortlessly in breweries, George seeks
and finds a small brewery, owned and operated by a widow
who can't be bought. George is not accustomed to anyone
saying "No" to him, but that's exactly what Olivia is
doing.
Lady Olivia Xavier inherited the small brewery upon the
death of her husband and has made quite a success of it.
But things are getting dangerous, and she's attacked on her
way home from work one night. Coming to her rescue,
stepping out of the fog as if from the pages of her
favorite dime novels, is her cowboy, her knight in shining
armor. Olivia can't be dreaming because she's being tightly
held against a solid chest and wrapped in strong, but
gentle, arms. Even though she can't explain the feeling,
Olivia knows this handsome cowboy can be trusted.
Will Coffin has never held a real lady in his arms,
especially one with beautiful violet eyes. He's a Colorado
cowpuncher in London to find his family and has never felt
more out of place in his life. Call it fate for Will and
Olivia. They couldn't be more distant socially,
financially, geographically or any other way, but their
lives intertwine. Will has a strong moral code and is full
of integrity. He'll help Olivia save her brewery, just
because she asks. Olivia has found the true and honest man
of her dreams and will do anything to lasso his heart.
LADY X'S COWBOY is a delightful debut novel for Zoe
Archer. The characters brim with humanity, and the
story is full of emotions and tender passions that heat up
like a branding iron. The combination of pride and passion
in a heart-warming and unforgettable story make this a
great read not to be missed.
Lady Olivia Xavier: a young British widow who won't live

world aside to forge a life for herself as a brewer and
businesswoman. Can she remain quietly unconventional when
she crosses paths with a man straight from the Wild West?
Will Coffin: a Colorado cowboy, he's searching for the
family he never knew and an end to the restlessness in his
heart. Did this free-wheeling cowpoke step out of the
pages of Olivia's favorite penny dreadfuls, or is there
more to this man than just a Stetson and pair of spurs?
