Valerie Trimarco is very pregnant, very lost, very alone, and very stuck in a Wyoming snow storm. Her car is jammed in a Wyoming ditch, with contractions coming faster and harder … when her white knight in a cowboy hat arrives. Ranch foreman Jack Ralston’s job is to handle anything that needs handling with cool, quiet competence, including a baby who’s decided to enter the world right now.
A few years later, Valerie returns to the Slash-C Ranch of Knighton, Wyoming. Now a successful mommy blogger, she wants to thank the man who rescued her and delivered her beloved daughter. Okay, maybe she’s wondered about him a time or two over the years. How could she not? So she conspires with his employers and friends to spring a surprise party on him for a proper thank you.
Yes, Jack can handle anything. Except a surprise party. And this open, energetic, talkative woman and her short-stuff kid who gets under his guard. Because they demand the one thing from him that he can’t handle – love.
Jack’s Heart brings emotional impact to this romantic comedy addition to the contemporary western romance collection Wyoming Wildflowers from award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn.
A New World, set in coastal Massachusetts, is the prequel to Jack’s Heart. It tells the story of Valerie's no-nonsense cousin, Eleanor Thatcher, and handsome Irish troubadour Cahill McCrea hired to sing at her seaside café. You can continue to follow the lives and loves of the good people of Knighton, Wyoming, in A Cowboy Wedding, a shindig at the Slash-C Ranch that also ropes in characters from other Patricia McLinn romance series. In the newest Wyoming Wildflowers romance, Cahill's brother Kiernan makes the best of a bad holiday road trip in Making Christmas.
Wildflowers have to be strong and resilient to bloom amid the rugged beauty of Wyoming – and so do the women.
