A Cowboy for Keeps, by Jody Hedlund, is the first tale in her latest series, Colorado Cowboys. When Greta Nilsson and her young sister, Astrid, arrive in Fairplay, Colorado, she is surprised to learn that the man she came to marry is thought to be dead. After she lost her life-savings when their stagecoach was held-up, Greta does not know which way to turn. When Wyatt McQuaid offers her a proposal of marriage, Greta feels like she has found the answer to her problem!
Little does Greta know that the mayor has offered Wyatt financial assistance with starting up his ranch, if he agrees to help bring respectability to Fairplay. Wyatt thinks he can simply marry Greta and start a family. Unfortunately, this endeavor is not as simple as Wyatt assumes!
This marriage is starting off with a pretty big secret. Greta had come to Colorado with a different focus in mind. She is hoping to find a climate that will help Astrid's battle with consumption. Now Greta's focus is being complicated with details needed to help Wyatt, her new husband, achieve success!
This is a fun tale to follow as Greta and Wyatt adjust to their new way of life in the wild, wild West. You will be reading page after page to discover how they overcome the complications that unexpectedly spring up on their path!
