Mitch Smith is one happy rancher -- at least, he is until a lady P.I. barges onto his property, bent on lassoing him into a family he didn't know he had. Suddenly his success and his independence vanish. It turns out that his business is built on money from the McCoys -- the family with the biggest retail empire in the country -- and now he's saddled with a million-dollar debt.
Alison Sullivan is counting on the hefty fee she'll get once the stubborn cowpoke is delivered to the wealthy Missouri clan. Since she's practically down to her last dime, she'll do whatever it takes to corral him. Coming from this fiery green-eyed redhead with determination to spare, that's no idle threat!
Having never met an unhappy ending she couldn’t mentally “fix,” Leah Vale believes writing romance novels is the perfect job for her. A Pacific Northwest native with a B.A. in Communications from the University of Washington, she lives in Central Oregon, with a huge golden retriever who thinks he’s a lap dog. While having the chance to share her “happy endings from scratch” is a dream come true, dinner generally has to come premade from the store.
The Cowboy by Leah Vale is an engaging quick read. This is a great choice for those with limited time for reading. Ms Vale has given us a well-written book with awesome, lovable characters. Mitch and Alison's story is a fast paced romp loaded with drama, humor and spice. I enjoyed reading The Cowboy and look forward to reading more from Leah Vale in the future. The Cowboy is part of The Lost Millionaires Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
