Fortune of the Month: Delaney Fortune Jones
Age: 24
Vital Statistics: A petite and perky spitfire.
You’ll never see her without her cowboy boots.
Claim to Fame: The youngest of Jeanne Marie Fortune Jones’s children, Delaney always calls ’em as she sees ’em.
Romantic prospects: She is currently being courted by Miami native Cisco Mendoza. But she is doing her best to resist …
“Maybe every girl in town has had her head turned by Cisco Mendoza. But I refuse to be swayed by his city-slicker swagger and his sophisticated ways. I’m in search of a solid cowboy, not a tourist. So what if he makes my stomach do a two-step? I’m not going to be roped in by chocolate-brown eyes and sweet nothings. But what if … what if I could wrangle Cisco’s heart for real?”

Only she and her brother Galen were single now. Delaney would be the last of Deke and Jeanne Marie’s children still living on the ranch after today. Her world had shifted, and she knew it would never be the same.
