Synopsis

The freedom of the range, the bawling of the longhorns, the lonesome night watch beneath a vast, starry sky--they get into a man's blood until he knew there was nothing better than the life of a cowboy ... except the love of a good woman.

MELODY

When Chet Attmore rode into the Spring Water Ranch, he was only a dusty drifter, hoping to find a fresh horse and stay one step ahead of his reputation as a gunfighter. But by the next morning he was being pressured into several unfamiliar roles: Young Neil Jordan saw him as some kind of hero, with guns ablazing; the ranch foreman hoped he'd be the savior who could stand up to their land-hungry neighbor Lantz Royal; and the lovely new owner of the Spring Water had offered him a job as a cowboy. Most disturbing of all, Melody was looking for a husband, and when Chet held her soft, sweet body against his, he was tempted to fulfill every one of her expectations... and more.

This is #4 in the Cowboys Series.

About this title

Review:

Melody Jordan would rather pack her bags and head back to Virginia than marry a man she doesn't love. But her father is dead and she can't leave her stepmother and two young brothers to fend for themselves while rustlers steal their cattle and the nearest rancher tries to steal their ranch. Lantz Royal has made it clear he intends to get the Spring Water Ranch one way or another, which means Melody either has to marry the man or get ready to put up the fight of her life. Chet Attmore is ready to hang up his guns and find a quiet place to settle down where no one knows him. He's only passing through and has no intentions of getting involved in the troubles of the Spring Water Ranch or the pretty young woman who lives there. But all his good intentions are lost when he gets pulled into the fray. Soon, he's in too deep to leave and his heart is hoping for things his mind knows he can never have. Continuing The Cowboys series, Leigh Greenwood introduces us to another one of Jake and Isabelle Maxwell's orphans. Chet is a gunfighter looking for a home, while Melody is a woman out of place in the Texas home she's trying to save. Chet is another wonderful tale in this continuing series. Readers who fell in love with this gifted author's style with the Seven Brides series will want to collect all The Cowboys books.No one writes western historical romance like Leigh Greenwood! A master storyteller! Chet has it all! Romance and rustlers, gunfighters and greed... romance doesn't get any better than this! The Cowboys is a true collector's series. Every book is a gem and Leigh Greenwood polishes every story until it shines! Brilliant writing and characterization! Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 080198 Literary Times, Inc.
