Colton's Cowgirl


Book Description

Newly returned from his third deployment, Colton Colmenares is determined to build his ranch into a success, even if it means taking a temporary job to earn a nest egg. He just didn’t count on being bowled over by his coworker: a prickly, standoffish cowgirl, who just doesn’t seem to like him or his dog, no matter how nice they both are. Anna Alcatraz learned long ago she can’t trust big men—or big dogs either, for that matter. And not only is Colt twice her size, but he’s got a pet who could bite her in half if it wanted to. How is a woman of her stature supposed to protect herself against someone like Colt or his four-legged beast, if one or the other of them ever decided to hurt her? Nope, she doesn’t want anything to do with either of them. But if that’s true, then why does her heart—and her body—keep telling a different tale? And why does she get the feeling that, despite his size, she might be able to perhaps, maybe—possibly—trust him? He might be a good man, but is Colt big enough to protect her when he finds out the truth about her past?

The Cowgirl and the Racehorse


Book Description

An intimate examination of cowgirl narratives, horseback riding, and the characters and personalities of the animals who have accompanied the author from childhood to the present. The Cowgirl and the Racehorse offers a moving, intimate, and richly descriptive memoir on the relationship between a girl and her horses. Beginning with a traumatic horse-riding accident, Wells reflects on the personalities and characters of the many horses--both real and fictional--who have accompanied her through often difficult life experiences, teaching her strength, resilience, discipline, care, and trust. The Cowgirl and the Racehorse is also a scholarly reflection on the many cowgirl narratives--films, television shows, music, and books--that have marked the author's life passages and which offer complex and compelling images for girls as they grow: particularly in terms of their independence of spirit and the social and familial expectations with which they are burdened. Finally, The Cowgirl and the Racehorse is a detailed examination of the ethical and societal questions raised by the sometimes dangerous and cruel, and sometimes seductive and compelling, world of horseback riding.
