Vivienne Cavanagh’s half-sisters invite her to join them in building Happy Trails Stables, which sounds like the kind of stability Viv has craved all her life. She’s become a pediatric nurse practitioner so she’ll never need to depend on a man for anything the way her needy mother did. God, her sisters, her horse, and a real home in Jewel Lake? That’s all she needs.

Branson DeWitt knew a guy shouldn’t date his best friend’s kid sister, so he didn’t. But when his past jumps in front of him, destroying his engagement to Viv’s best friend, he reacts poorly. Being a lawyer means he knows right and wrong, but it’s not always easy to act on it, and Viv knows too many details. If she didn’t hate him so much, he’d try to explain… and enlist her help.

Viv’s too smart to get caught in Branson’s web, but what if he’s for real? Because if there’s anything she can’t ignore, it’s a small, innocent child in need of comfort.

About the Cavanagh Cowgirls Romance series!

If your sister doesn’t have your back, who does? The three Cavanagh cowgirls put their differences aside to open Happy Trails Riding Stables together, but there’s not much they agree on except this: romance was great for their six big brothers, but they don’t need that complication. All they need is Girl Power… and Jesus.

1. Take the Reins, Cowgirl (Emma)
2. Drop the Spurs, Cowgirl (Vivienne)
3. Cinch the Saddle, Cowgirl (Alexia)
