To Love and to Cherish
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
An emotional and captivating love story filled with gritty cowboys, strong-willed women, and a whole lot of heart in the Wild West. Fans of Linda Lael Miller, Jodi Thomas, and Rosanne Bittner will be drawn to Laurie and Jared as they grow—together and apart—through heartbreak, anger, greed, and most of all, love.
Laurie Spencer should not feel relieved after burying her husband, but she does. But in order to truly gain her independence from the man who controlled her, Laurie must make an offer to a sexy rancher that she hopes he can't refuse.
Jared Smith's determined to make it in Texas, but with the local banker turned against him, it looks like his dream may be slipping through his fingers. When unconsciously sensual Laurie offers a partnership, his luck may be changing...but when she throws herself in as part of the deal, Jared's not sure he'll be able to respect the terms of their agreement and keep his eyes—and his hands—to himself.
There's something about Laurie that awakens every protective instinct Jared has...and when all hell breaks loose, there's nothing and no one who'll be able to keep this cowboy from her side.

In Greenwood’s sketchy second Cactus Creek historical western (after To Have and to Hold), inexplicably virginal widow Laurie Spencer is thrilled at the death of her husband of four years. Her parents forced her to marry Mr. Spencer when she was 17 years old, and now she wants independence. But the will says her brother-in-law, a stingy banker, must manage Laurie’s inheritance money, and he barely gives her enough to live on. Jared Smith, an Army vet and rancher, came to Arizona Territory looking for his brothers, who were adopted by different families after their parents were killed. He’s refused a loan from the banker and doesn’t know where he’ll get the money to buy a herd of cattle. Laurie seizes the opportunity to trade some secret funds and cooking and cleaning services for half ownership of Jared’s ranch. The attraction between Laurie and Jared is immediate. Laurie
has vowed that she’ll never wed again, but Jared’s happy to seduce her while he contemplates marrying another. Unbelievable situations and behavior make this book an easy one to put down. Agent:
