Charity Courtney is at her wit’s end trying to save her boardinghouse from a bank foreclosure. Short of money but not short of marriage proposals, she dreads putting aside her fairy tale dreams of love and having to settle for a marriage of convenience. But with the need to provide for her two younger sisters, she doesn’t have any other options.

While visiting Fairplay, wealthy railroad magnate Hudson Vanderwater hears of Charity’s plight. Although he comes across as cold and calloused, he is drawn to helping women in need because of a tragedy that destroyed his sister. He concocts a plan that will save Charity—he’ll employ her and rent her boardinghouse for the month and in doing so alleviate her debt.

With a grumpy and demanding new boarder who is now her boss, Charity determines to hold the handsome Hudson at arm’s length. But she’s the sunshine for his stormy soul, and he can’t resist being drawn to her. As danger closes in and threatens to destroy Charity, he’ll stop at nothing to save her.

“This one’s worth rounding up.” —Booklist, on Falling for the Cowgirl

*All of the books in the Colorado Cowgirls series are sweet, closed-door romances with plenty of sizzle. The inspirational themes are light, and the romance is the main focus of the books.

• Brandi: I love the chemistry between these two and as always in a Hedlund story, the romance is amazing (curls your toes while remaining sweet).
• Angeline: This was another wonderful addition to the series! 
• Mandy: I was hooked from the start and really enjoyed this swoony western romance.
• Naomi: There is plenty of mystery, action, romance, witty banter, and humor. So far this is my favorite book in the series and I can’t wait for books 3 and 4.
• Kayla: I loved this story! A love story between two social classes…an oldie but a goodie! I loved Hudson and Charity’s story it had mystery, action, and romance. Everything one needs when looking for a good book. I would 100% recommend this book.
• Jennifer: Another swoon worthy romance! Loved the vivid story telling, a little suspense and a whole lot of passion. Enjoyed every page.
• Staci: I love Charity’s strength, commitment to family and integrity. A bit of a the movie Pretty Woman feel to this novel. I look forward to the next in the series which will focus on the other two Courtney sisters.
