What could be better on a cold Valentine’s Day than to sit down with a book chock full of stories about special cowboys and their ladies? COWBOY KISSES has just what you’re looking for! Eight stories by some fabulous authors who share with you their love stories of the old west!


A KISS IN TIME by Lorrie Farrelly
Texas Ranger Colin Carter owes his life to a girl who appeared out of nowhere to save him. His gratitude quickly turns to passion, and Cady Corcoran loses her heart to him in return.  Now all that stands in their way is time: Colin was killed 25 years before Cady was born. Will these two star-crossed lovers ever have Time on their side?

WHEN MY HEART KNEW by Linda Carroll-Bradd
Tomboy Maisie Treadwell meets her match in cowboy Dylan MacInnes. From the moment they meet, the sparks and words fly. Of course, if she hadn’t knocked him down and caused an ankle sprain, their relationship might have gone more smoothly. To avoid damaging the reputation of the family’s boarding house, Maisie is at the mercy of meeting Dylan’s demands. When they discover a shared interest in adventure stories, a bond is struck. Soon, Maisie can’t wait to spend time reading aloud to the virile man confined to a bed—until the afternoon she overhears him explaining that his demands were meant to teach her a lesson. Can Dylan find a way to gain her trust again?

A WESTWARD ADVENTURE by Kristy McCaffrey
Aspiring novelist Amelia Mercer travels from New York City to Colorado to help her injured aunt recover. When the stage is robbed and her luggage stolen, bounty hunter Ned Waymire comes to her aid, acquainted with the harmless culprit and wanting to spare the boy. But Ned also seeks to impress the independent young woman. Amelia's wish to never marry, however, clashes with Ned's desire to keep her reputation intact. When a final bounty from Ned's past threatens their future, she knows that A Westward Adventure isn’t just the title of her novel, but the new course of her life.

VALENTINE ANGEL by Gail L. Jenner
Jake Morris is a lawman, but—wounded and near dead—his survival depends upon Mary Hastings, who discovers him half-hidden in her family’s woodshed. Practical, determined Mary nurses him back to health. But danger is not far off; the outlaw who wounded him has continued to pursue him, and now threatens both Mary and her sister, as well. More than just an intriguing and attractive woman, Mary becomes the Valentine Angel who not only helped heal Jake’s body, but also helped heal his heart.

HEARTS AND RED RIBBONS by Gil McDonald
When a beautiful horse charges into their yard one spring evening, Mrs. Jones and her tomboy daughter, Marlee, can’t know how much their lives will change. Marlee goes in search of the owner of the big horse, only to be jumped by an injured man. He’s hurt badly, and Marlee must get him home to safety.
Ben Chambers is searching for something, but until he meets Marlee Jones, he doesn’t know what. Settling down is the last thing Ben wants, but he can’t seem to convince himself of that around Marlee. Valentine’s Day is upon them and there’s only one thing to do—tie Marlee’s heart to his own with a special red ribbon, and let the courtship begin!

HUNTER'S GAMBLE   by C. Marie Bowen
It's a gamble. With no way to track William Lowe's missing family, Hunter intends to use spirit magic through his pendulum. It's a risk he's never taken, but after hearing William's desperate story, and seeing the specter shadowing William, Hunter is convinced he has to try.
It comes down to faith. Iris Piler is taken from her fiance's farm by force, much like William had been taken by Confederate forces three years ago. Only, Iris doesn't know who these men are, or how William will find her…if he's still alive.

HER THIEF OF HEARTS by Tanya Hanson
To escape her domineering mother, Omaha socialite Judith Maroney heads to her sister's Colorado ranch on the morning train...a train that’s ambushed by the very cowboy who stole her heart on her last visit!
Taking on the disguise of his outlaw twin brother, Tremaine Heisler holds up a train to retrieve a family treasure—and finds his gun pointed at the woman he loves. Is there any way out for either of them?

HOPES AND DREAMS by Beverly Wells
When Claire O’Gill agreed to be legal guardian for her niece, Tori, should disaster strike, she never expected to fill that title. But now, not only is she the guardian, she must flee the clutches of the wealthy, cold-hearted grandparents who intend to snatch her niece away. Her determination to protect little Tori has them zigzagging and backtracking from Philadelphia to Wyoming to hide. 
Sheriff Zach Ballard isn’t in the market for a wife. Once burned by a money-hungry woman was more than enough. Zach becomes friendly with the adorable Tori, but her mama seems to want to avoid him. His suspicions as to why grow stronger, heightening his intrigue—and his heart yearns to trust again. 
      All the while, Tori is busy talking to Mr. Cupid. She wants a daddy, and she knows exactly who can fill that spot for her new mama. Can two lonely hearts defeat a little girl’s wish and the forces of Cupid?  

 Settle in for some mighty fine Valentine’s Day reading from your favorite western romance authors!

  2. It appears that this selection of stories has everything that I like. There is time travel, some majolica, an orphaned child, and the hard hearted that can resist the heroine. The cover is beautiful and the authors here are great.

  6. I, too, am so thrilled to be a part of this collection! Thanks to Prairie Rose for the opportunity. I had so much fun writing my story, which isn't always the case, as I'm sure many authors can relate. Sometimes the stories just don't flow, but this one did. :-) So far, I've read Lorrie's, Linda's and Gail's stories. Love them! I've got the book on my Kindle now (as of today) so it'll be easier to read the rest.

    1. Kristy, I always love stories about women who need to do "research" about their writing. LOL I know what you mean about sometimes the stories not flowing--it's (IMO) because we know we have to say it all in a shorter amount of words and have it be gripping and make sense and not seemed contrived. That's a hard package to produce, sometimes! But you did a great job--everyone did!
