The Forever Man
HERO AT LARGE

When rodeo champion Wade Malone landed his antique plane in widow Sommer McBlain's pasture and announced he was her new hired hand, she had reason to be wary. Rodeo cowboys were notorious drifters, and past pain had taught her the folly of trusting easy charm.

Her struggle to run the ranch and raise six-year-old Katie on her own had etched caution deep into Sommer's soul, and she was determined to fence Wade out of their lives. But Wade had eyes as blue as the New Mexico sky and a way of looking at her that turned her knees to jelly. Could he gentle her skittish heart?
