About this ebook

Bestselling authors Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates team up for a western romance anthology celebrating the men who risk their lives every day to keep their communities safe - the quintessential small-town hero!

The towns may be small, but the hearts of the cowboy heroes in this duo of romantic novellas are as outsized as the rugged land that surrounds them . . .

ONE LONESOME COWBOY
by Linda Lael Miller
When a family crisis brings web designer and part-time house flipper Susannah Holiday to Arizona to care for her young niece, she’s soon juggling work, childcare—and her growing feelings for local paramedic and horse whisperer Ian McKenzie. They have more in common than meets the eye—including being cautious when it comes to love. But when a disturbing revelation from Susannah’s past surfaces, Ian is there to comfort her, and they both find their longing hearts opening to a better future—together . . .

COWBOY, TAKE ME AWAY
by Maisey Yates
After Birdie Lennox, daughter of a notorious cattle rustler, gets caught stealing a horse off Gunnar Parsons’ land, she ends up bunking in his barn to work off her debt—plus her daddy’s. But Birdie hardly has patience for Gunnar’s moralizing. The man inherited his ranch and has always hated her family. Still, it beats prison. Maybe. What neither anticipates is discovering they have more in common than they dreamed possible. Even more unexpected is the spark between them—and the love it might ignite . . .

This book is an anthology featuring two stories from two of the top cowboy/western romance authors in Linda Lael Miller and Maisey Yates. I enjoyed both of the stories in this anthology but my favorite of the two was Maisey's story, Cowboy, Take Me Away. I loved all of the little ways that Gunnar took care of Birdie throughout the story despite the two of them starting out on to put it lightly, not the best of terms.

I was excited to read "Small Town Hero" because Maisey Yates is one of the contributors and I love her books. What I didn't expect was how much I would enjoy, devour, and become attached to was Linda Lael Miller's contribution. The stories touched me in different ways making for a wonderful read.
