One Real Sexy Cowboy Romance!
Jeanette Kenny
captivated western romance fans with her debut "One Real Cowboy;" by
showing the loving, handsome and strong side to a cowboy. She has done
it once more with even more flare in "One Real Man!"
A few years back, handsome Gil Yancy ran away from his rich family and
an arranged marriage to become a cowboy. One night in a brothel he
meets the prettiest thing he's ever seen. Little does he realize that
Josie is desperate and afraid and has been abused by the brothel owner,
Ross Parnell. She must escape before he hurts her further. Gil has
never been the lovin' and leav'em type and wakes up feeling a bit
guilty, until he finds out his head is not hurting from too much drink
and good loving, but a knock in the head with a frying pan. To make
matters worse, he discovers he has been robbed of all he owns. He wants
revenge on the sweet little Josie, but at the same time, cannot seem to
keep the lady thief off his mind. He roams the west, a rich easterner
learning to be a cowboy, with a part of his mind always on Josie. Then
he receives an urgent letter from his friend Everett Andrews who needs
Gil's help at his ranch and offers him part of his land and also asks
that he take care of his wife and daughter. Knowing his family is
probably looking for him, Gil decides to take up Everett's offer,
thinking Rocky Point Ranch would be a good place to hide while
discovering the west and continuing to run from his family.
Gil shows up at Rocky Point Ranch only to discover that his sweet
little thief Josie is Everett's widow and that her daughter, Sarah Ann,
sure has a striking resemblance to his sister back east. The revenge he
has longed for seems to have fallen into his lap, but he soon discovers
that Josie and her daughter really need his help and that his passion
and desire for Josie, together with his growing attachment to her
daughter Sarah Ann, outweigh his long awaited revenge. He discovers
there are other landowners after Josie and the ranch, even the town
sheriff wants to court her, and there is also a local family that is
trying to take Sarah Ann away from Josie. But more important, the evil
Ross Parnell is searching for Josie for revenge much more dangerous
than Gil ever thought of. Can Gil prove to Josie that he can be a
cowboy, her true love, and help and protect her from the problems and
evil that stalks her, while at the same time somehow get her to open up
and confide in him the secrets and mysteries she is holding back?
In this hard to put down story, all mysteries and secrets build to an
exciting conclusion. Just as Gil's family find him, many of Josie's
secrets are revealed, and all of the bad guys seem to converge on Rocky
Point and Josie at the same time. Will Gil admit his true feelings and
do the right thing by Josie and Sarah Ann, protect and keep them safe,
while proving to his family that life in the west on Rocky Point Ranch
with his new little family is more important than wealth and privilege
in the east? But most of all, can he prove to Josie that he is her One
Real Man?
