Rodeo Sweetheart is the story of Samantha Jenson, whose beloved ranch home has fallen into tough financial times since her bull-riding father’s death two years previous. To make ends meet, Sam and her mom reluctantly turn it into a dude ranch. Even this isn’t quite enough, and Sam’s mom is considering selling out. Sam will do nearly anything to keep this from happening–from being nice to the wannabe cowboy city slickers to making a dangerous plan of her own.
But Ethan Ames, vacationing with his family from New York City, has plans of his own, and they don’t include falling for the ranch girl. What will happen to him and Sam when she finds out why his parents are really here? But on the other hand, what will happen to his relationship to his folks if he bails on their lucrative plans?
A story of two young people’s relationships with their fathers–and what it takes to break free of their fathers’ expectations–Rodeo Sweetheart is a sweet little romance by Betsy St. Amant, who lives in Louisiana and is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers group. Betsy is multi-published through Steeple Hill and has been published in Christian Communicator magazine and Praise Reports: Inspiring Real Life Stories of How God Answers Prayer.
