A romantic, funny contemporary cowboy romance full of rodeo champions, rambunctious kids, and southern-fried second chances. If you thought the only cowboys were in Texas, welcome to Joanne Kennedy's Wynott, Wyoming, and the Cowboys of Decker Ranch. Desperate to find an outlet for the passion he used to put into competing, bull rider Ridge Cooper takes on the challenge of teaching his roping skills to five troubled ten-year-olds in a last-chance home for foster kids, and finds it's their feisty supervisor who takes the most energy to wrangle. When social worker Sierra Dunn seeks an activity for the rebellious kids at Phoenix House, she soon learns she's not in Denver anymore. Sierra is eager to get back home to her inner-city work, and the plan doesn't include forming an attachment in Wyoming—especially not to a ruggedly handsome and surprisingly gentle local rodeo hero. But as she watches Ridge give his heart to kids who need forever homes, she realizes she's finally found her forever cowboy.
