Cowboys Never Cry — Tina Welling

Cowboys are not her weakness...until the most famous cowboy on the planet sets his boots in her path.

CASSIE DANNER isn't the type to swoon over cowboys. The loose stride in scuffed boots and well-worn jeans, the slow grin from under the brim of a sweat-stained hat -- Cassie is too smart to fall for the empty promises of real-life cowboys exuding sex appeal. A young widow with a still-mending heart, she seeks solace in nature and hard work, and expects to find both in her new summer job as a cook on a Wyoming dude ranch. How ironic that she ends up tussling with Robbin McKeag, the ranch owner's son and a superstar celebrity for having played iconic cowboys on the big screen.

IN TRUTH, Robbin's far different from the image he projects. Disillusioned with fame, he has retreated to his dad's ranch to reconnect with the land and people he loves...and something about Cassie just gets his goat. He's quick to criticize her and can't leave her alone, yet he senses she might offer comfort to his aching soul. And as much as Cassie tries to avoid Robbin, she's drawn to his struggle to become a better man. Are they about to play out a classic romance, with the glorious Teton mountains as a backdrop? Or will their notions of each other prove as false as the cowboy mystique once the charm has worn off?
