MONTANA HEARTS: HER WEEKEND WRANGLER by Darlene Panzera
(on-sale 10/6, Avon Impulse)
Darlene
Panzera returns with a sweet new Western series perfect for fans of Debbie
Macomber's heartwarming romances
Bree Collins has finally come home to Fox Creek,
Montana, to manage her family's guest ranch. She knows she can handle any
challenges that come her way, but when the infuriating Ryan Tanner reappears in
her life, Bree suddenly has doubts about her ability to stay professional—and
away from the handsome cowboy.
Ryan Tanner is in a bind. He needs to train a
young foal for the upcoming show but its mother would rather bite his hand off.
Just his luck the cute cowgirl from his past arrives back in town. Bree just so
happens to have a reputation for taming animals of this nature. Ryan is willing
to make a deal with her, but he has no intention of being swayed by her sweet
smile or the tenderness she shows his young son.
Yet when fate brings them together, falling for
one another becomes the easiest thing in the world. Ryan might just want to
wrangle this cowgirl's heart…but will Bree give him the chance?
Excerpt:
Catching the frame of the shelves with her
hands, she spun around, and used her body weight to shove the burdensome book
beast back into position. But every time she stepped away, the case threatened
to fall. Somehow the bottom had become unbalanced. She glanced at the clerk
behind the counter and opened her mouth to call for help. Then Ryan Tanner
walked toward her and she involuntarily jumped in place.
They'd grown up together, riding the same
school bus and sharing the same classes day after day right up through the
twelfth grade. But after high school she'd relocated to New York to attend
college. Then she put her business degree and love of fashion together to
snatch the assistant managerial position at the Manhattan branch of Silvain's,
a national fashion retail conglomerate which specialized in hip clothing and
accessories. Over the years she'd run into Ryan only briefly during her
occasional visits home.
And she had no desire to see him now.
Ryan was the kind of guy a girl dreamed
about but could never have. At least not exclusively. He was a charmer who took
the opportunity to flirt with every female he met. And he'd tried to charm her the night of their high school
senior prom, the night her horse died, in an attempt to delay her from getting
home too soon...and saying goodbye.
Of course, they were adults now, both
almost twenty-seven, she with her glowing resume and he with a seven-year-old
son. She thought she'd forgiven him and let bygones be bygones.
She was wrong.
