Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A romantic, funny contemporary cowboy romance full of rodeo champions, rambunctious kids, and southern-fried second chances. If you thought the only cowboys were in Texas, welcome to Joanne Kennedy's Wynott, Wyoming, and the Cowboys of Decker Ranch. Desperate to find an outlet for the passion he used to put into competing, bull rider Ridge Cooper takes on the challenge of teaching his roping skills to five troubled ten-year-olds in a last-chance home for foster kids, and finds it's their feisty supervisor who takes the most energy to wrangle. When social worker Sierra Dunn seeks an activity for the rebellious kids at Phoenix House, she soon learns she's not in Denver anymore. Sierra is eager to get back home to her inner-city work, and the plan doesn't include forming an attachment in Wyoming—especially not to a ruggedly handsome and surprisingly gentle local rodeo hero. But as she watches Ridge give his heart to kids who need forever homes, she realizes she's finally found her forever cowboy.

Like Sholom Aleichem's fools of Chelm, the panicked prairie folk, armed with fly swatters, have no idea what to do, since nothing like this has ever happened in the past!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They ride horses, rope calves, buck broncos, ride and fight bulls, and even wrestle steers.

Keith Ryan Cartwright brings to life the stories of such pioneers as Cleo Hearn, the first Black cowboy to professionally rope in the Rodeo Cowboy Association; Myrtis Dightman, who became known as the Jackie Robinson of Rodeo after being the first Black cowboy to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo; and Tex Williams, the first Black cowboy to become a state high school rodeo champion in Texas. Black Cowboys of Rodeo is a collection of one hundred years of stories, told by these revolutionary Black pioneers themselves and set against the backdrop of Reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation, the civil rights movement, and eventually the integration of a racially divided country.
