“If I have to make one more pair of chaps……..”
About The Book
Pub Date 20 Jun 2023
Can they risk giving in to the attraction between them while their lives are on the line?
If widowed seamstress Nell Armstrong has to make one more pair of boring chaps for the cowboys in her tiny Wyoming town, she might just quit the business altogether! So meeting Brand Nolte, a widower struggling to raise three girls on his own, seems like her dream come true. Brand has no idea how to dress the girls properly, and Nell finally has a chance to create beautiful outfits while also teaching the girls to sew.
But Nell is much more than a seamstress, and the investigative skills and knowledge she picked up alongside her late lawman husband soon become critical when a wounded stagecoach-robbery survivor is brought to town. As danger closes in from all sides, Nell and Brand must discover who has a target trained on them before it’s too late.

You’re welcome, Carla. I’m looking forward to continuing the series, the first was pretty good. Before I read it, I hadn’t read one of hers in years.

Me too Wendy, she does write a pretty good cowboy story. She has so many books I haven’t read, it’s been years since I read one before the first in this series. Maybe one day I’ll catch up 🙂

I don’t know that the first line would entice me, but your review would. It sounds like a good book.

I honestly thought it was a psychological thriller when I requested it from NetGalley but it wasn’t. It was emotional though and kept me turning pages. Sad though!
