The Wrangler and the Runaway: Way Out West

It has been a while since I read this book [1999] but I do keep track of how I rate the story -- Am now reading a follow-up to this story - "Renegade Father" -- and I shall definitly keep these books in my library -- Colt McKendrick was a fascinating character and finding him again is like meeting an old friend.I highly recommend these two books to all who enjoy reading and know you will want to keep them for future reading again. --M

In The Wrangler and the Runaway Mom, we meet Maggie Rawlings Prescott, a woman who witnessed the murder of her husband. Afraid for her life and that of her five yr old son, Nick, Maggie flees to work for her stepmother as a doctor treating cowboys injured on the rodeo circuit. There she meets a gorgeous blue-eyed cowboy named Colt McKendrick whose very presence sends shivers down her spine. But what she doesn't know is that Colt is no ordinary cowboy. He's really an undercover FBI agent sent to keep an eye on her. The FBI know Maggie witnessed the murder and are under the impression that she may have in her possesion evidence that will put away a dangerous renegade agent, evidence that led to her husband's execution. After getting to know her and her precious son, Colt knows that Maggie is innocent of any wrong doing and is only running scared. Falling in love was definitely not on their agenda, but inspite of themselves, Colt and Maggie ignite with passion. Now, Colt will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves and boy he's come to love as his own. But will Maggie forgive Colt when she finds out who he really is? Can their love survive the odds?The Wrangler and the Runaway Mom is a fast-paced read that will keep you hooked until the very end. Trust me!Luciano
