The Heart of a Cowboy

by Jody Hedlund

Book 2 of the Colorado Cowboys series

359 pages · First published 2021

Linnea Newberry joins a scientific expedition headed west in 1866, hoping fieldwork will prove she belongs in the male-dominated world of botany. Rancher Flynn McQuaid agrees to guide the group through Colorado Territory while carrying responsibilities and wounds that make him wary of emotional entanglement. The journey exposes Linnea to physical danger and professional prejudice, while Flynn’s instinct to protect her repeatedly collides with her determination to be treated as capable. Jody Hedlund’s second Colorado Cowboys novel combines frontier travel, natural science, faith, and romance around two people learning that courage can look different in a laboratory notebook and on horseback.
