Teaching the Cowboy — Holley Trent

She's a Carolina beauty queen, not a cowgirl, but one Wyoming rancher thinks she's perfectly qualified for the job that matters most.



A year in godforsaken Storafalt, Wyoming? No big deal…or so traveling tutor Veronica Silver tells herself. She needs hands-on experience with a special group of students to qualify for a grant, and her assigned passel of ranch kids are special cases, all right. Ronnie loves a challenge, but pitted against a small town's far-too-active grapevine and a woeful lack of amenities, she worries she won't be able to hack it.



With the education system in Storafalt sorely lacking, rancher John Lundstrom thought hiring a private tutor would ease some of his considerable stress. What he didn't expect was a powerful mutual attraction with Ronnie or her steadfast refusal to let him properly court her. She's on a one-year assignment and wants no entanglements when it's time to go home to North Carolina.



An unplanned pregnancy and Ronnie's ensuing deception spins the Lundstrom ranch into a major upheaval. John refuses to let Ronnie run away with his daughter, but he may be forced to compromise when her homesickness threatens to drive a wedge between the two lonely hearts once and for all.
