Wild horses couldn’t get wealthy horse breeder Ethan Callahan to settle down…but a bundle of baby could. Especially when the child was his—and was hand delivered by the preacher’s daughter! Good thing a full-grown woman came with the baby, because while Ethan was renowned for his know-how with females, he knew next to nothing about kids.
Dora Watkins had specific instructions from her sweet charge’s mama to make certain Ethan would change his ways to care for his own. But the otherwise prim-and-proper Dora also wanted something in return from the playboy—a night in his arms.

Single father, horse whisperer, Stony Stratton was sure he was safe from the meddling matchmakers of Shotgun Ridge . . . until Eden Williams arrived on his ranch with an outrageous proposal.
Eden had only six months to make a baby or forever hold her peace. Stony was just the man for the job. A gentle giant if there ever was one, he embodied all of the good qualities Eden hoped to pass on to her child—and possessed all of the male sex appeal a woman could want.
Taking Eden to bed would be Stony’s pleasure, but he wouldn’t do it without taking her down the aisle first.
“Stony Stratton is a hero who would make it onto any woman’s wish list . . . Mindy Neff masterfully blends humor with a romance that will melt your heart. What results is sheer delight.” –Romantic Times Magazine (4 ½ GOLD MEDAL) TOP PICK and W.I.S.H. award recipient for outstanding hero.
He guarded his town with an eagle eye…but even Sheriff Cheyenne Bodine couldn’t save himself from the outrageous Shotgun Ridge matchmakers. Seems they’d “rented” his house to lovely surrogate mom-to-be, Emily Vincent. And while the big city beauty would tempt a saint to live in sin, Cheyenne’s lawman’s oath permitted no such indiscretions. Sending Emily home would protect and serve them both…
Though the proud country lawman stole her breath, Emily knew her stay was temporary. Except…when she told Cheyenne that the babies she carried were his orphaned kin, she found herself under house arrest. The bail? Bonds of matrimony!
“These are imperfect and loving characterizations that remain with the readers long after the last page is turned. Indeed, a character driven romance that explores the joy and pain of birth and death, CHEYENNE’S LADY belongs on the keeper shelf. Very highly recommended.” –Cindy Penn, Word Wrap review editor. (Winner of the WordWeaving Award for Excellence)
