"Sweet Cherry Ray" by Marcia Lynn McClure
(From Amazon)
"Excerpt…
“Cherry glanced at her pa who frowned and slightly shook
his head. Still, she couldn’t help herself and she leaned over and
looked down the road.
She could see the rider and his horse—a large
buckskin stallion. As he rode nearer, she studied his white shirt, black
flat-brimmed hat and double-breasted vest. Ever nearer he rode and she
fancied his pants were almost the same color as his horse, with silver
buttons running down the outer leg. Cherry had seen a similar manner of
dress before—on the Mexican vaqueros that often worked for her pa in the
fall.
“Cherry,” her pa scolded in a whisper as the stranger neared them.
She straightened and blushed, embarrassed by being as impolite in her
staring as the other town folk were in theirs. It seemed everyone had
stopped whatever they had been doing to walk out to the street and watch
the stranger ride in.
No one spoke—the only sound was that of the
breeze, a falcon’s cry overhead and the rhythm of the rider’s horse as
it slowed to a trot….”
"The Outer Edge of Heaven" by Jaclyn M. Hawkes
This one is pretty new. I reserved it only a few months ago from my library.
(From Amazon)
"Montana truly is heavenly. Especially those handsome cowboys.
Her
parents want a clout wielding attorney. She just wants to teach
kindergarten. When her “all-powerful” parents actually choose her future
husband, -a divorce lawyer named Elroy, Charlie opts out and heads for
Big Sky Country to work on a sprawling ranch in the heart of the Montana
Rockies. Filled with colorful characters of all kinds, a horse of her
own, and one extremely attractive rancher, it makes for a summer never
to be forgotten. Once again, Jaclyn M. Hawkes spins a tale filled with a
deft mix of humor, romance, and tension that will leave you wishing
that she’d kept on writing."
