A Cowboy For Keeps by Jody Hedlund

 

Jody Hedlund's A Cowboy For Keeps offers a fun read with a fast-moving plot! The characters drew me in and kept me up at night because I wanted to know what they were doing. Through fantastic dialogue, I really got to know Greta and Wyatt. I am looking forward to what happens next in their life when Wyatt's brothers and sister move in from out East. So put the coffee on and settle in for a good old marriage of convenience story.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

Greta Nilsson's trip west to save her ailing little sister, Astrid, could not have gone more wrong. First, bandits hold up her stagecoach, stealing all her money. Then, upon arriving in Fairplay, Colorado, she learns the man she was betrothed to as a mail-order bride has died. Homeless, penniless, and jobless, Greta and her sister are worse off than when they started.

Wyatt McQuaid is struggling to get his new ranch up and running and is in town to purchase cattle when the mayor proposes the most unlikely of bargains. He'll invest in a herd of cattle for Wyatt's ranch if Wyatt agrees to help the town become more respectable by marrying and starting a family. And the mayor, who has promised to try to help Greta, has just the candidate in mind for Wyatt to marry.
