The Stardust Cowboy — Anne McAllister

"I'M NO STARDUST COWBOY!" -- Riley Stratton, rough-edged Wyoming cowboy

Riley knew he wasn't any kid's imaginary hero -- capable of making dreams come true. His own dreams had bitten the dust so long ago, he couldn't even remember them. But he had to do the honorable thing by Dori Malone and her son -- his newly discovered nephew -- Jake. Next thing he knew, they were sharing his ranch!

Worse, Dori was making herself indispensable. She understood computers. She cooked meals, washed dishes. She even folded his underwear! Worst of all, she made Riley wish, made him ache, made him dream... of things not even Jake's stardust cowboy could make come true.

Hero: Riley Stratton
Heroine: Dori Malone
