Soldier Angus Ketchum lost a leg during his fourth tour in
Afghanistan. Covert Cowboys, Inc. hires
the veteran though Angus cannot understand why Hank Derringer took on a Wounded
Warrior as a field operative.
Sexagenarian Last Chance Ranch foreman CW Reinhardt contacted his
military buddy Derringer to provide protection for his boss Widow Reggie Davis
and her five years old son Tad because of increasingly dangerous occurrences.
Derringer assigns Ketchum, who worked on a Texas ranch, as an
undercover cowhand at the Colorado Rockies spread protecting Reggie and Tad. He meets the owner in the field when he
rescues her from spooked cattle only to have her yell at him. Reggie has no money to pay Angus, but
hesitantly even after CW’s support, provides room and board for Angus and even
more reluctantly his dog Ranger. When
the peril mounts, the veteran and the canine rise to the occasion to keep safe
the woman and child they adore.
The seventh Covert Cowboys Inc. romantic suspense
(see Navy Seal Newlywed) is a pleasant contemporary in which for much of the
storyline the emphasis is on caring relationships. There is action especially late in the plot,
but the falling in love interplay between the Widow and the “One-Legged Cowboy”
takes center stage.
