Book excerpt: Rosie doesn't date cowboys anymore, not since her husband died. Les, a cowboy to the bone, is ready to convince Rosie to change her mind. Rosie doesn't date cowboys. She knows what kind of heartbreak can come when they get seriously injured. Roughstock rider Les is determined to change Rosie's mind from the moment he gives her his seat on the bus. He knows she's the one for him—he just has to convince Rosie. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that Les lives in Colorado and Rosie is in Texas. During rodeo season the distance doesn't seem so huge, but when winter threatens to lock down Les' Colorado ranch, how is he going to prove to Rosie that he's worth the chances she has to take?
