Book Description
A Rugged Cowboy with a Promise to Keep Jack McMurtrySeven generations. That's how long the McMurtry's have worked Sweetgrass Ranch. My days start before dawn and end long after dusk. I care for the land, the cattle and the horses. The last thing I need is a woman around. Sure, I'd like one to warm my bed, but with everything that needs doing, I'd want her gone by daybreak. What don't I need? A city-girl prissing around my family's homestead. Especially a woman that works for the government and says I owe Uncle Sam a fortune. Nope. I don't need her around even if she is as pretty and curvy and sassy as the day is long. Trouble is, I can't get Blaze out of my mind. And if that's not bad enough, I'm sure she's hiding something from me. A secret that I'll do whatever it takes to uncover. A City Girl Far from Home Blaze WilsonI'm on my first assignment, determined to wow my supervisors at the IRS. My career is on the line. All I need to do is pull off this one, single case in the middle of Nowhere, Montana. How hard can it be? What I didn't count on was going toe-to-toe with a tall, rugged and sexy cowboy. None other than the owner of the ranch. Guess what? He's not cooperating. At all. What is he doing? All the wrong things. Undressing me with his bedroom eyes and then coming across all knight-in-shining-armor when I get caught in a violent thunderstorm. I need to be careful. As perfect as he seems, Jack McMurtry could wreck my career. And as if that's not bad enough, I stumble across a long-buried McMurtry Family secret. A secret that could cost me everything... 'How To Catch A Cowboy' is a full-length (107k) standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers and no cheating. It is intended for readers over 18.

Catch Rope
Author: John R. Erickson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
For more than a hundred years, American cowboys have made their living through the skilled use of horse and rope. Whole libraries have been devoted to the horse, but no one, until now, has written a thorough study of the origins and evolution of ranch roping--which differs from arena roping as practiced by rodeo cowboys. Author/cowboy John Erickson studies ranch roping from every angle: its origins in the Old World; old-time loops and throws; the influence of modern team roping; and the endless debate between those cowboys who rope "hard and fast" and those who "dally." Mixing scholarship with his working--cowboy's knowledge of the subject, Erickson tells stories of cowboys who could not resist fitting their loops on "things that ort not to be roped," such as elk, deer, badgers, bears, and bobcats. He tells of jackrabbit roping contests, and of cowboys who roped mice, geese, hogs, wives, or a runaway milk wagon. Anyone who has ever "built a loop" or even thought about it will find this book hard to put down.
