The Courage of a Cowboy Kristin Vayden

Nothing like a wedding to get a girl dreaming of happily-ever-after . . .

Kessed Ling's best friend's big day is finally here. It's especially exciting because it's Kessed's chance to show her childhood crush she's not just a young bridesmaid, she's a full-grown woman-with red hot desires. But when her long-awaited prey barely blinks an eye at her, Kessed retreats right back into her deeply guarded heart. Doesn't matter that chivalrous Jasper Matthews steps in and offers a shoulder to lean on. Kessed is no longer in the market for a man, despite how unsettled the strong, silent groomsman makes her feel . . .

As a veterinarian, Jasper better understands a skittish filly than he does willful Kessed Ling. But when fate finds him playing ranch hand alongside the raven-haired beauty, Jasper realizes she's a woman running scared-and he's just the man to tame her. So with soothing words and bold kisses, Jasper sets out to show Kessed how good it can be between a man and a woman. Especially when the man is falling hard and fast in love . . .

"Obsessed. That's how I felt while reading this book, like every page was better than the previous. Just try to put this down, I dare you." --#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken on Heart of a Cowboy
