Cassidy’s Cowboy

cassidys-cowboy-new-finalCASSIDY’S COWBOY

Book 6 in KAREN ROSE SMITH’S Search For Love Series

Never-before-published novella

Cassidy Sullivan has secrets. Her mom died when she was five and she’d never known her dad. A life in foster homes ended up with her on an icy road in a hot-wired car on her way to trouble. An accident and a kind widowed rancher took her in and taught her the meaning of unconditional love.

Last year, her twin sister Lucy (from book 4, Search For Love, ALWAYS HER COWBOY) had found her through using psychic Gillian Bradley. Now Cassie wonders if Gillian can help them find their father.
Before they can begin, Cassie meets Ben O’Donnell her foreman’s nephew. Ben is a wealthy CEO who has brought his daughter to Twin Pines Ranch to help her recover from her mother’s abandonment of them both. Since Ben spent summers on Twin Pines under his uncle’s watchful eye when he was a kid, he knows the value of ranch life. He’s hoping it will bring his daughter Julie some much-needed happiness.

Neither Ben nor Cassie count on the immediate and potent attraction between them that goes deeper than chemistry. If Cassie confides her secret to Ben, will he turn away? Even if he doesn’t, what kind of future can they have if they live a country apart?

The search for a father and true love is a lot to handle at the same time. But Cassidy Sullivan isn’t your ordinary cowgirl, and Ben O’Donnell could possibly become CASSIDY’S COWBOY

Once a doctor, Zack goes on the road with his Harley to leave the past behind and find a future. He lost his wife and unborn son. He couldn’t save Kay and the powerlessness was as difficult to deal with as his grief. Growing up on a ranch that his parents later lost, Zack heads for a life that once brought him peace. After selling his practice in LA, he finds temporary jobs on western ranches until the work is finished. Then he moves on. Until he arrives at the Rising Star.

Lucy McIntyre’s father interviewed Zack over the phone. But he trusted Lucy’s instincts and gave her the job of checking the man’s references as well as doing a face to face interview. Adopted, always grateful for the family who accepted her no matter what, Lucy never expects the sizzling magnetic pull to Zackary Burke. Almost immediately she realizes he’s a complicated man. But she has her own secrets. Because of a riding accident when she was seventeen, she can’t have children. And in the middle of Zack’s interview she receives an unusual call from the family lawyer. When she drives to his office in Long Brush, she finds a photo of two baby girls. The lawyer believes she has a twin. Lucy is as loyal to her family as they are to her. She doesn’t want to hurt them or make them think they haven’t given her enough…that they aren’t enough. Should she find this sister who might be a twin?

Complicating life on the Rising Star, Lucy’s brother Marty is drinking too much after a break-up with his girlfriend and Lucy is covering for him. She hopes that soon time will heal his pain. Zack tries to convince her her brother needs help, but Lucy is hoping the situation will resolve itself on its own. She knows Zack is a loner and a drifter and doesn’t intend to stay. But they are still drawn together, can’t deny their sizzling attraction, and find they can listen to each other with some perspective, even though they don’t always agree.

The McIntyre family accepts Zack into their fold. At first his heart is hard against emotions he doesn’t want to feel. But Lucy begins to change all that…she thaws his heart and leads him to love and emotional healing. Through this healing, Zack realizes exactly what future he wants. Accepting love in his heart helps him save Lucy’s brother and find everlasting love.
