Silhouette Desire #907: Cowboys Don't Cry

Description from the book back cover: The rock: Ranch foreman Robert Tanner - a man who never let any woman get close to him. The hard place: The Bar C - the Wyoming spread he was used to running like it was his own. And in between was Maggie MacLeod - the unwanted, unwelcome, unnerving tempting new owner of his ranch! And it sure looked like the city-bred teacher was planning to make the place her own - and tear down all the fences he'd built around his battered heart ...

This is the first book in the Code of the West series. Robert Tanner is the Ranch Foreman and is good at his job. When his employer dies she leaves the ranch to Maggie MacLeod, a school teacher. Robert tries everything to make Maggie feel uncomfortable and unwanted, but it does no good. Maggie has always wanted a place to call home and has no intention of leaving the ranch. There is no hiding the attraction between the two, but Robert has no intention of ever letting himself love another woman. Robert is running from the hurt in his past and from the future that he could have if he would just let Maggie into his heart. A great story about a truly stubborn pigheaded cowboy and a woman with a great deal of love.
