Discover the Made in Montana miniseries—where all your cowboy dreams come true!
Kylie Richardson has always known she wanted a family. So much so that she waited years for her rodeo-riding boyfriend to make it big and settle down. Then she discovered that he was a lying cheat—so she’s started a new life in a new town.
Kylie is shocked when Landon Kincaid, her ex’s best friend, shows up in Blackfoot Falls. There was always an attraction between them, but neither of them ever acted on it. The spark is still there, but can she take a chance on another rising rodeo champ? Kylie doesn’t want to come second to the rodeo again, so it’s up to Landon to prove that she’s first in his heart.
The evening air was already nippy as Kylie hurried toward Main Street.
As she came around the corner, she saw Landon standing outside the restaurant. She slowed her steps even as her heart picked up speed.
She loved it when he wore blue shirts. They always made his eyes look bluer, and with his wavy dark hair, he truly was a good-looking man. A fact many of the other riders’ wives and girlfriends had certainly noticed. Yet she’d never seen him flirt. Not once.
“Landon, where are your crutches?”
“I thought we were going right in to dinner so I didn’t need them.”
“And yet, here you are,” she said, shaking her head. “Not smart.”
“We can fix that. Here, put your arm around my waist,” he said as he slid an arm around her shoulders and leaned against her slightly.
At first she couldn’t speak. He smelled so good. Felt too good. The warmth of his body seeped into hers, beckoning her closer. He was all lean muscle. Rock solid.
“Is the leg bothering you?” she asked, tightening her arm around him.
“Not especially.”
Suspicious, she looked up at him. “So why are we plastered to each other?”
Well, I must say, it feels good to be home. While this is my first Western Romance, my very first published book was with Harlequin American Romance somewhere back in the early nineties. At the time, all I read were Americans, so when I decided to try my hand at crafting a story, of course I submitted to that particular line. Oh, and by the way, writing a short book? Not as easy as I’d thought it would be. Wow, what a humbling experience!
Anyway, I wrote for American for quite a long time, with the occasional Love & Laughter, Duets or Intrigue thrown in. Then I switched to Blaze and wrote for that line for over fifteen years. When I was told I could bring my Made in Montana series with me to Western Romance, I was delighted to come full circle.
Stealing the Cowboy’s Heart takes place in the fictional town of Blackfoot Falls, Montana. It’s the eighteenth book in the series, but I’ve peppered in some of the more interesting characters as a means of introducing you to the town and its sometimes wacky, sometimes annoying townspeople, who might like to gossip a bit more than most.
I hope you enjoy Kylie and Landon’s story. We all welcome you to Blackfoot Falls!
Happy reading!
All my best,
Debbi
Stealing the Cowboy’s Heart
Debbi Rawlins
DEBBI RAWLINS grew up on the island of Oahu in Hawaii but always loved Western movies and books. When she was twelve she spent the summer on the Big Island of Hawaii, and had the dubious honor of being thrown off her first horse. A year later, minutes before a parade started down her street, she managed to find the most skittish horse in the lineup and... You can probably guess the rest.
These days, sixty-five-plus books later, she lives on four acres in gorgeous rural Utah surrounded by dogs, cats, goats, chickens and free-range cattle, who just love taking down her fence every couple years.
