These wild west bodyguards know what it takes to ride to the rescue! Two reader-favorite cowboy romance stories from New York Times bestselling author Carla Cassidy.
Defending The Rancher’s Daughter
Kate Sampson is lucky to be alive after nearly being trampled by a stampeding cattle herd—she has to be on alert every second. Professional bodyguard Zack West offers protection…and something a lot more dangerous. The sensual cowboy had branded her with his passion years ago. Now he’s back, ready to claim her love all over again.
The Rancher Bodyguard
Grace Covington had vowed never again to lay eyes on the hotshot defense attorney who’d broken her heart. But when her stepfather is murdered, her sister found holding the bloody knife, Charlie Black is the only one who can help. And he seems determined to prove he’s a changed man, too, capable of protecting her—body and soul.
