WHEN A COWBOY AND A CITY GIRL MEET, IT'S A SHOWDOWN
New Yorker Emily Jean Barlett, author of dime novels about the Wild West frontier, is determined to save her career with a ripsnorting book based on Jess Murdock, "Legend of the West". But the lanky, sexy cowboy living in True Love, Montana, refuses...unless Emily proves she can handle the hardships of real ranch life. Now, between marauding rustlers, Jess's long hot kisses, and one tragic lie, true love might break Emily's spirit -- or give her a man and a dream to fight for with all her heart.
National bestselling author Millie Criswell didn't start out to be a writer. Instead, she had aspirations of joining the Rockettes as a toe-tapping member of their dancetroop, or tapping her heart away in one of those big, corny MGM musicals. Of course she was only ten at the time, had absolutely no talent as a dancer, and cannot be blamed for her failure to succeed.
To date, Ms. Criswell has written twenty-one historical, category, and contemporary romances. She has won numerous awards, including the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award, the Reviewers' Choice Award, the National Reader's Choice Award, and the coveted MAGGIE Award from Georgia Romance Writers.
Ms. Criswell resides in Virginia with her husband of thirty-two years. She has two grown children, both lawyers, and one neurotic Boston terrier
