Her Temporary Cowboy
Attorney Jackson Harris regularly goes toe-to-toe with the world’s toughest lawyers—but none of them compare to Lucy Maxwell. The feisty director of Oklahoma’s Big Heart Ranch for orphans is as stubborn as she is pretty. But Jack must stay focused; he’s only there to evaluate the ranch’s funding. Falling for Lucy and the sweet children she protects is out of the question. Though Lucy is determined to keep the ranch, she’s not about to give control to a city slicker—even a devastatingly good-looking one. But as they bump heads, Jack and Lucy gradually nudge open their hearts. Could a temporary cowboy become a permanent part of Lucy’s life?
“So, you and Dub have really bonded, haven’t you?” Lucy said.
Jack stared at her. “You gave me an assignment, and I take my assignments very seriously.”
“An assignment.”
“Was that the wrong answer? Lucy, Dub is my buddy. What else do you want?”
“I want you to be very careful.” Lucy said the words softly as Dub approached them with a grin on his face and a blue ribbon pinned to his chest.
She addressed the little boy. “Congratulations again, Dub. Great job with the scavenger hunt.”
“Not just me. Mr. Jack, too.” He grinned.
Lucy glanced from Dub to Jack. Though Jack’s face remained impassive, his eyes sparkled with amusement.
“Here, Mr. Jack, this is for you.” Dub handed Jack the heart-shaped stone.
Jack smiled broadly. “Thanks, buddy.”
Lucy’s heart melted. Oh, this wasn’t good. What was she thinking? Soon Jack would go back to his life in New York. And little Dub would be left with a broken heart.
And he might not be the only one...
