At least the rundown ranch they've inherited together is the perfect hideout. It's hard enough for Raoul to play cowboy to a bunch of scrawny steer, let alone suffer the exquisite torture of living with the delectable Charmaine, who's declared herself a born-again virgin. What's a man crazy with desire to do? With the moon shining over the bayou, this Cajun cowboy must sweet-talk his way into his wife's arms again...before she unties the knot for good!

Book excerpt: Georgia's wedding day came to an abrupt halt when she caught her fiancé in a clench with her maid of honor. When she's ready for a second chance at the altar, an untimely attraction to a hot Cajun cowboy with a healing touch catches her off guard. Once word's out that she's about to ditch her fiancé for one of the Cajuns next door, Georgia's father lets the man know that marrying his daughter is not an option. But giving Hank Broussard an ultimatum is like waving a red flag at a bull. The only thing that crosses his mind is "challenge accepted." The question is, will Georgia marry her father's polar opposite, or settle for Parker Barclay III and relive the past?Hank Broussard, the hero in this story, is also a faith healer. Cajun traiteurs (treaters) have been ministering to the ill and the injured around the bayous since the eighteenth century when the Acadians migrated to southwestern Louisiana from France by way of Nova Scotia. Some traiteurs treat broad ranges of illnesses, while others specialize. The problem with Hank is that he lost faith in the gift of healing that was passed down to him from his grandmother when he failed to alleviate the pain of his dying wife, so in a sense he also failed his young son. So this story is also about restoring hope. The quote by C. S. Lewis below pretty much describes our still-grieving hero at the opening of the book:"To love is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give your heart to no one. Avoid entanglements; lock it up in a casket. But in that safe, dark, airless casket it will change. It will not be broken. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable." -- C. S. LewisAUTHOR'S NOTE: The cowboys in this series believe in God, family, country, and horse in that order. They may count only a few people as real friends, but those who've proven themselves with the passage of time are life-long friends. They protect and love children and women because they see them as gifts from God.LEVEL OF SENSUALITY: If you're looking for steamy romances you'll find instead sexy stories in a non-graphic way. My goal is to create romances that feature courageous, self-assured heroes with endearing flaws and the gutsy women who capture their hearts, women for whom these unsuspecting cowboys would lay down their lives. ABOUT THE SERIES: The books in the Cajun Cowboys series are intended to be read in sequence as each book moves forward in time. I invite you to visit my website and read about future books in the series, which is set in southwest Louisiana's prairie country where Cajun cowboys have been raising cattle since their Acadian ancestors registered the first brands back in the 1700s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Thompson-Hernández's portrayal of Compton's black cowboys broadens our perception of Compton's young black residents, and connects the Compton Cowboys to the historical legacy of African Americans in the west. An eye-opening, moving book.”—Margot Lee Shetterly, New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Figures “Walter Thompson-Hernández has written a book for the ages: a profound and moving account of what it means to be black in America that is awe inspiring in its truth-telling and limitless in its empathy. Here is an American epic of black survival and creativity, of terrible misfortune and everyday resilience, of grace, redemption and, yes, cowboys.”— Junot Díaz, Pulitzer prize-winning author of This is How You Lose Her A rising New York Times reporter tells the compelling story of The Compton Cowboys, a group of African-American men and women who defy stereotypes and continue the proud, centuries-old tradition of black cowboys in the heart of one of America’s most notorious cities. In Compton, California, ten black riders on horseback cut an unusual profile, their cowboy hats tilted against the hot Los Angeles sun. They are the Compton Cowboys, their small ranch one of the very last in a formerly semirural area of the city that has been home to African-American horse riders for decades. To most people, Compton is known only as the home of rap greats NWA and Kendrick Lamar, hyped in the media for its seemingly intractable gang violence. But in 1988 Mayisha Akbar founded The Compton Jr. Posse to provide local youth with a safe alternative to the streets, one that connected them with the rich legacy of black cowboys in American culture. From Mayisha’s youth organization came the Cowboys of today: black men and women from Compton for whom the ranch and the horses provide camaraderie, respite from violence, healing from trauma, and recovery from incarceration. The Cowboys include Randy, Mayisha’s nephew, faced with the daunting task of remaking the Cowboys for a new generation; Anthony, former drug dealer and inmate, now a family man and mentor, Keiara, a single mother pursuing her dream of winning a national rodeo championship, and a tight clan of twentysomethings--Kenneth, Keenan, Charles, and Tre--for whom horses bring the freedom, protection, and status that often elude the young black men of Compton. The Compton Cowboys is a story about trauma and transformation, race and identity, compassion, and ultimately, belonging. Walter Thompson-Hernández paints a unique and unexpected portrait of this city, pushing back against stereotypes to reveal an urban community in all its complexity, tragedy, and triumph. The Compton Cowboys is illustrated with 10-15 photographs.

Download or read book The Texas Cowboy Cookbook written by Robb Walsh and published by Ten Speed Press. This book was released on 2007-04-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas cowboys are the stuff of legend — immortalized in ruggedly picturesque images from Madison Avenue to Hollywood. Cowboy cooking has the same romanticized mythology, with the same oversimplified reputation (think campfire coffee, cowboy steaks, and ranch dressing). In reality, the food of the Texas cattle raisers came from a wide variety of ethnicities and spans four centuries. Robb Walsh digs deep into the culinary culture of the Texas cowpunchers, beginning with the Mexican vaqueros and their chile-based cuisine. Walsh gives overdue credit to the largely unsung black cowboys (one in four cowboys was black, and many of those were cooks). Cowgirls also played a role, and there is even a chapter on Urban Cowboys and an interview with the owner of Gilley’s, setting for the John Travolta--Debra Winger film. Here are a mouthwatering variety of recipes that include campfire and chuckwagon favorites as well as the sophisticated creations of the New Cowboy Cuisine: • Meats and poultry: sirloin guisada, cinnamon chicken, coffee-rubbed tenderloin • Stews and one-pot meals: chili, gumbo, fideo con carne • Sides: scalloped potatoes, onion rings, pole beans, field peas • Desserts and breads: peach cobbler, sourdough biscuits, old-fashioned preserves Through over a hundred evocative photos and a hundred recipes, historical sources, and the words of the cowboys (and cowgirls) themselves, the food lore of the Lone Star cowboy is brought vividly to life.
