<p>Least excited of all? Sebastian, owner of the highbrow bookshop across the road, who has rules for everything: the kind of books he sells, the clothes he wears, and the people he dates (no-one local).</p>

<p>Levi King has never met a woman he couldn&#8217;t charm—until he meets Indigo Jameson. One of Brightwater Valley&#8217;s newest citizens, the prickly woman gets under his skin like no one else ever has.</p>
<p>Indigo Jameson doesn&#8217;t trust people as a rule. She trusts men—especially handsome ones—least of all. And Levi is the handsomest man she&#8217;s ever seen. Much to her chagrin, the gorgeous adventure guide seems intent on befriending her. An isolated childhood has made it difficult for her to connect with anyone, but Levi manages to get past her defenses and make her realize how great it could be to have a friend she can really lean on.</p>
<p>But beneath Levi&#8217;s carefree, flirtatious exterior is a man badly damaged by his own past. Can Indigo break down the walls around Levi&#8217;s heart as he&#8217;s done for her?</p>

<p>Sweet-natured Teddy has never met a man worth taking a risk on, until now. Tomboy Joey has more affinity with farm equipment than men, until a brooding cowboy changes her mind. Prickly baker Georgie can’t resist the temptation of the most forbidden cowboy of all, and sparks fly between ceramicist Elliot and the grumpy single-dad rancher next door.</p>
<p>The sisters’ feelings are anything but simple, but with the love and support of each other, they discover that a cowboy might be the sweetest thing of all about coming home.</p>The post <a href="https://www.jackieashenden.com/mybooks/sweet-home-cowboy/">Sweet Home Cowboy</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.jackieashenden.com">Jackie Ashenden - Romance Author</a>.]]></content:encoded>
