The Rancher Takes a Wife — Judith Bowen

Cowboy goes a-courtin'

Jeremiah Blake is a true man of the West: a hardworking, straight-talking rancher. He's got his priorities all figured out--and marriage isn't one of them. He likes women, no mistake about it, but not on what you'd call a permanent basis.

Cilla Prescott's arrival in Glory provides him with a brand-new challenge. But Cilla has her priorities figured out, too. She says she's not interested in romance-or in him. She's just opened a preschool; she doesn't have time for men.

Jeremiah aims to change her mind. He's decided to take dating and courtship more seriously, decided that maybe he should get married, as everyone's been telling him for years.

Now he has to convince Cilla that she's the wife for him! Even if it takes a bachelor auction and some conniving by an old friend to do it....

MEN OF GLORY: A cowboy town in cowboy country. This is a place a woman could love. These are men a woman could love!
