Counting on the Cowboy
Book 4 of the Texas Cowboys series
224 pages · First published 2018
A woman whose future depends on practical choices finds herself relying on a cowboy whose steadiness makes him both useful and emotionally dangerous. Ranch work and family responsibilities give the couple repeated reasons to cooperate, allowing trust to build before either is ready to name the relationship. Faith and community shape the choices they make as temporary help begins looking like permanent partnership. Shannon Taylor Vannatter’s inspirational Western romance centers on a dependable cowboy and the quiet realization that love is sometimes built by counting on someone one day at a time.
