In A Cowboy’s Arms-Rebecca Winters

In A Cowboy’s Arms Rebecca Winters Harlequin American Romance, Apr 1 2014, $5.50 ISBN: 9780373755158 Eight years ago, Sadie Corkin fled from her father Daniel’s Farfields Ranch in Montana when she was eighteen out of fear for the safety of her beloved Jarod Bannock; as she believed her violent alcoholic dad when he swore to kill her fiancé. She never told the love of her life why she left town abruptly though he assumed her monstrous father was the prime cause. Sadie moved in with her mom Eileen in San Francisco and obtained a job working at Tim Lawson’s software store. Eileen and Tim fell in love, but he died in an accident and she giving birth to their child, now two year old Ryan raised by his half-sister. With Daniel’s death from liver failure, Sadie, accompanied by Tim’s younger brother Zane and Ryan, returns to the family Montana spread to make decisions about her late father’s estate. Upon seeing her, Jarod knows he still feels anger-fueled betrayal by the woman he cherished and to his chagrin still loves. The first Hitting Rocks Cowboys romance is a delightful second chance at love tale due to a strong support cast who bring out the best in the protagonists and in Big Sky country. Although there is exciting unnecessary suspense that feels somewhat a subgenre requirement, readers will root for the deserving lead couple to find happiness together and look forward to future series entries.
