A Family for the Cowboy — Linda Goodnight

"A mix of fear and happiness skittered through her. Garrett held her gaze, telegraphing some unspoken emotion with his velvet eyes. He moved toward her, slowly, cautiously, in the way he'd approach a skittish horse. His strong, cowboy hands cupped the sides of her face so tenderly, she thought she would melt. She knew he wanted to kiss her, and she also knew she'd let him."

Linda Goodnight is a RITA award-winning, New York Times and Publisher's Weekly bestselling author of more than 3 million books sold.

About A FAMILY FOR THE COWBOY:

She's given up on finding love...

Schoolteacher Amy Rogers is content with her single life. Or so she thought until Garrett Collins walked into her schoolroom to deliver his son for the first day of school. He's the last person she expected to see, and the first man who's made her heart react in ages. A man like Garrett would never want someone like her, not with the secret she's keeping...

He's found new hope.

Single dad Garrett has never forgotten the Amy of his childhood, the girl who saw something in a poor boy from the wrong side of town. When she is willing to tutor his foster sons, he can't help falling for her tender heart.

But as they grow closer, Amy's walls grow higher and higher. Will Garrett unearth her secret or will he lose her forever?
