Home On The Ranch: Rodeo Dreams/Rodeo Dreams/Her Rodeo Man/No Ordinary Cowboy

Description

Rodeo Dreams - Sarah M. Anderson Ride straight to the top of the rodeo circuit - that's June Spotted Elk's dream. Having danced with adversity in the male-dominated world of bull riding, she won't let anyone - not even a sexy, scarred stranger - get in her way. Back in the arena to resurrect his career, seasoned bull rider Travis Younkin can't afford a distraction like June. No matter how deeply the stubborn and beautiful rider gets to him. Because he'll do anything for victory. But so will June. Her Rodeo Man - Cathy McDavid Twenty-five years ago, the Beckett family was irrevocably divided by lies and secrets. But now Ryder Beckett has come back until he can find a new job. He's quick to fall into old ways - taking care of the horses, trying a few of his old rodeo tricks and falling for Tatum Mayweather. Ryder's childhood friend has become a beautiful woman. But how can he get involved with the single mother when he's only at the ranch temporarily? Is the pull of family enough to make him stay? Is this where Ryder truly belongs? No Ordinary Cowboy - Mary Sullivan She'd rather be anywhere than here in Ordinary, Montana. Tackling the books for a failing ranch as a favour to a friend is not city girl Amy Graves's scene. And every time Hank Shelter stonewalls her search for the truth, she wants to be gone yesterday. Still, something about the Sheltering Arms calls to her. Maybe it's the open spaces. Or maybe it's Hank, who is proving too good, too kind to be real. But to put the ranch to rights Amy needs to know what he's hiding. Even if it destroys the sweet thing developing between them.

I spent my childhood wandering through the woods behind our house, pretending to be an Indian. Later, when I fully discovered horses, it prompted my mother the history teacher to put anything and everything about the High Plains tribes into my hands. This infatuation lasted for over a decade.At some point, I got away from Indians. My mother blames boys. I discovered Victorian novels and didn't look back - not for almost two decades. I got a Bachelor's of Arts in English from Truman State University and a Master's of Arts in English from The Ohio State University.And through it all, I knew I wanted to write novels. I just had no idea how to do it.It took a caffeine-fueled car trip with my 92-year-old grandmother and two-year-old son in July of 2007 to awaken my Muse. That story would become my first book as I figured out how, exactly, one writes a novel.Let's just say the learning curve was steep.One character led to another, and before long, I found my characters out in South Dakota, among the Lakota Sioux tribe. Modern-day cowboys, who are the Indians - without planning it this way, I find myself writing about the people and places that held my imagination throughout my childhood.In 2010, I sold my first novel, the award-winning Indian Princess, to Stacy Boyd of Harlequin Desire. The book will be released in 2012. Stay tuned for more updates!I live in Illinois with my husband, son, Jake the Three-Legged Wonder Wiener dog, and Gater the Four-Legged Mutt. I am a writer and editor at Mark Twain Media, Inc., an educational publishing company. I am a member of Romance Writers of America, the Chicago-North RWA, Women Writing the West, and the International Association for the Study of Popular Romance. When not chasing my son around or tweaking my books, I attempt to read, knit, and occasionally complete a home improvement project in my historical 1895 Queen Anne house.Sarah loves to hear from readers via her email: message@sarahmanderson.com New York Times bestselling author Cathy McDavid has been happily penning contemporary westerns for Harlequin since 2006. Every day, she gets to write about handsome cowboys riding the range or busting a bronc.It's a tough job, but she's willing to make the sacrifice. Cathy shares her Arizona home with her own real life sweetheart and a trio of odd pets. Her grown twins have left to embark on lives of their own, and she couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments. Jennifer Lohmann is a Rocky Mountain girl at heart, having grown up in southern Idaho and Salt Lake City. She's always been a reader-of romance novels, mysteries, nonfiction, cereal boxes, etc. If it had words, she tried to read it. Unlike many voracious readers, she didn't major in English in college. She decided to pursue a more practical degree, graduating from the University of Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. Practicality is something Jennifer aspires to, rather than something she is always able to achieve. After graduating from college, she moved to Shanghai to teach English for a year. When she moved back to the United States, she decided to study library science because (as her husband said) librarians know everything. Her husband's suggestion was a good one. Jennifer has been a public librarian for several years and was Romance Writers of America (RWA) Librarian of the Year in 2010. Jennifer had been writing, on and off, for many years when she won the Librarian of the Year award. Being at the RWA conference reminded her how much she loved writing and she became more serious about it. As part of Harlequin's "So You Think You Can Write" Contest, she was offered a contract on her first book in 2012, to be published in 2013. She spends her days surrounded by people, talking about books, and creating community. Her nights (and early mornings) are spent imagining the loves of other people and writing their stories. She lives in the Southeast with a dog, three chickens, four cats, and a husband who gamely eats everything she cooks.
