The Forever Cowboy

 












On the opening pages of The Forever Cowboy, by Jody Hedlund, Violet Berkley is awakened by a loud banging on the front door.  Her father was a gambler and someone had come looking for money.  When their father offers his two daughters as dancing girls to pay off his debt, Violet and Hyacinth know their only option is to run!


Violet reaches out to Sterling Noble, her former fiancĂ©, for help.  After she left him at the altar, Sterling currently does not seem willing to lend them a hand.  Therefore, Violet and her sister head into the cold to find shelter and safety in a remote miner’s cabin.  When Sterling notices skis missing, he knows Violet and her sister are heading out to find a safe place to hole up!


After Sterling finally makes it to the cabin,  he finds that Violet has twisted her ankle and cannot walk easily.  When this threesome finally make it back to the ranch, they find that the house has been ransacked.  Violet wonders if the man, who is after her father and also looking for Violet and her sister, is behind this action!


You wonder if Sterling will step up to find a resolution to this dangerous situation and if Violet will finally decide to embrace that Sterling truly loves and accepts her.  Hold tight for an ending full of surprises for both Violet and Sterling!
