Rodeo Hearts — Patricia Ellis

TO FORGE A FUTURE...
Kate DeCosta is no sweetheart of the rodeo. A rodeo brought John Sterling into her life ten years ago, and a rodeo took him away, leaving her pregnant and heartbroken. She should have listened to her rancher father. He warned her the blue-eyed cowboy was bad news. Now older and wiser, with a ranch to run and a feisty, blue-eyed daughter to raise on her own, Kate has no intention of making the same mistake twice -- no matter how badly she wants to.

...THEY MUST FORGET THE PAST
For years, John has been haunted by memories of the passionate redhead he left behind -- the only woman he ever loved. Ten years of riding the circuit kept him moving, but did nothing to heal his pain. He returned home only once, to find Kate married and a mother. Now, back for good, John realizes he and Kate have been fools, kept apart by lies, pride, and betrayals. But this time, John intends to take a stand and put down roots with the family he'll never walk away from again...
