Courting a Cowboy

A young lady seeking a particular kind of husband.
A ranch full of cowhands who have long adored her from a distance.
A foreman who’s got his hands full … and his heart on the line …

Sophie Vandercook leaves her post as an instructor at an Academy for Young Ladies in St. Louis, and heads to the OS Ranch in Wyoming Territory with a plan. It seems the perfect place, since her older half-brother is employed there. There's just one thing in her way – the ranch's foreman, Nate Abbott.

Nate has a ranch to run, a vital roundup to get through, and a bunkhouse full of cowhands smitten from afar with a young lady they all consider Our Sophie. So there’s no time – or reason – to consider exactly what her letters might be stirring in him. Then Sophie arrives in Wyoming.

About the Author

From being a sports writer to editing at The Washington Post to becoming a USA Today bestselling author, Patricia McLinn follows her heart. She writes what she loves to read, and is delighted and humbled when readers love it, too.

One of the things she loves is writing about Wyoming, a passion that started with a free airline ticket and a desire to go someplace she’d never seen before. Cowboys, quirky small towns, humorous characters, and spectacular landscapes – what’s not to like? Now she returns every chance she gets – including visiting through her popular contemporary western romances (Wyoming Wildflowers, A Place Called Home and Bardville, Wyoming), her western historical romances and her cozy mystery series Caught Dead in Wyoming.

Readers praise her books for memorable and believable characters, as well as touches of humor added to romance, women’s fiction, and mystery. 

Patricia’s newest releases are the contemporary romance WARM FRONT, the fourth and final book in the Seasons in a Small Town series, and LOOK LIVE, the fifth Caught Dead in Wyoming mystery.
