How to Handle a Cowboy

Cowboys of Decker Ranch series

by Joanne Kennedy

His rodeo days may be over…

Sidelined by a career-ending injury, rodeo cowboy Ridge Cooper is desperate to find an outlet for the passion he used to put into competing. So he takes on the challenge of teaching roping skills to troubled ten-year-olds in a last-chance home for foster kids, and finds it’s their feisty supervisor who takes the most energy to wrangle.

But he’ll still wrangle her heart

When social worker Sierra Dunn seeks an activity for the rebellious kids at Phoenix House, she soon learns she’s not in Denver anymore. Sierra is eager to get back to her inner-city work, and the plan doesn’t include forming an attachment in Wyoming—especially not to a ruggedly handsome and surprisingly gentle local rodeo hero.

“Realistic and romantic… Kennedy’s forte is in making relationships genuine and heartfelt as she exposes vulnerabilities with tenderness and good humor.”—Booklist Starred Review

“The sex scenes are juicy…and the plot moves seamlessly.”—RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
