    "A story filled with romantic tension . . . Hunter's well-developed characters and plot twists make for a delightful and inspirational journey." --Publishers Weekly 
    The final book in Denise Hunter's Big Sky Romance series, where a playboy hero meets his match in a heroine uninterested in love! Only one pair of boots--and the cowboy wearing them--can get Annie out of the mess she's in. 
    Annie Wilkerson is Moose Creek's premiere horse trainer and equine columnist for Montana Living. Money is tight as she tries to put her kid-sister through college and provide for her young nephew. When Annie's column is cancelled, she's given first shot at a new lovelorn column--and she can't afford to turn it down. Only problem is . . . Annie's never been in love. 
    Always resourceful, she reluctantly strikes a deal with the town's smooth-talking ladies' man Dylan Taylor: She'll work with his ailing horse, Braveheart, if he'll help her answer the reader letters. 
    Working closely with Dylan is harder than Annie imagined, and she quickly realizes she may have misjudged him. But her unwavering conviction that cowboys are nothing but trouble has kept her heart safe for years. And she can't risk getting hurt now. 
    The more Annie tries to control things, the more they fall apart. Her feelings are spinning out of control, and her sister's antics are making life increasingly more difficult. Annie knows she needs to let go, but surrender has never come easily. 
    When Dylan reveals his feelings for her, Annie doesn't know what to trust--her head or her heart. The trouble with this cowboy is that he might just be exactly what she needs. 
    The Big Sky Romance series is a collection of standalone, sweet and clean romances set against the stunning backdrop of Montana. Each book in the series offers a unique love story, featuring rugged cowboy heroes and strong, independent women, all bound by faith, love, and the enchanting Montana countryside. Discover the beauty of love in the heartland with the Big Sky Romance series with A Cowboy's Touch, The Accidental Bride, and The Trouble with Cowboys.

    It’s early 1860, and war hero Captain Nathaniel Chambers, commander U.S. Army Fort Davis in the west Texas wilderness, has received shocking news – his father is dead. He must return home to Virginia and claim his inheritance before a maniacal neighbor can murder his widowed mother and seize the family plantation.

    An epic journey across a young nation seething with debauchery, brutality, corruption, and political intrigue, unwittingly on the brink of an unimaginable disaster; the American Civil War. Nathan Chambers has left the violent army life behind in Texas, never imaging he’s on the very Road to The Breaking.
