How to Handle a Cowboy (Cowboys of Decker Ranch, Bk. 1)

Named one of Booklist's "Best Romances of the Decade"

Love in Wynott, Wyoming, looks like a headstrong cowboy, an independent woman, and the rowdy bunch of foster children they'd do anything to protect.

After a serious injury ends his career, rodeo cowboy Ridge Cooper needs something new to look forward to. Trapped at his family's Wyoming ranch and desperate to find a new outlet, Ridge offers to teach rodeo skills to the kids at Phoenix House, a local group home for foster children. When he meets Sierra Dunn, an inner-city social worker who's been assigned to the remote ranch for blowing the whistle on her boss, Ridge knows the two of them can give the kids at Phoenix House a bright future. From their very first lesson, it's obvious Ridge has a special kinship with the boys, and when Sierra discovers that he's aimed his grit and determination toward creating a foster family of his own, Sierra will have to decide if she's ready to make Wynott, Wyoming, her permanent home.
