He's not her brother, but Duncan thinks Catherine sure needs one. A woman has no business trying to run a ranch. Not in 1880s Creede, Colorado. Even though she's loved him forever, she swears she doesn't need his help, but in between stampedes, fires and a kidnapping, the ex-bounty hunter and gunslinger becomes determined to do more than protect the ranch. Working together to catch a dangerous outlaw might just be the best thing that ever happened to them both.

I am sure people will truly enjoy this book especially those who enjoy a good Western romance. The love story was beautifully written and the way the secondary characters lives are all intermingled made the story a wonderful read.

About the Author
Cynthia Woolf was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains
west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the
mountain side with her friends.
Their closest neighbor was one quarter of a mile away, so her little
brother was her playmate and her best friend. That fierce friendship
lasted until his death in 2006.
Cynthia was and is an avid reader. Her mother was a librarian and
brought new books home each week. This is where young Cynthia first got
the storytelling bug. She wrote her first story at the age of ten. A
romance about a little boy she liked at the time.
She worked her way through college and went to work full time straight
after graduation and there was little time to write. Then in 1990 she
and two friends started a round robin writing a story about pirates.
She found that she missed the writing and kept on with other stories.
In 1992 she joined Colorado Romance Writers and Romance Writers of
America. Unfortunately, the loss of her job demanded the she not renew
her memberships and her writing stagnated for many years.
In 2000, she saw an ad in the paper for a writers conference being put
on by CRW and decided she'd attend. One of her favorite authors,
Catherine Coulter, was the keynote speaker. Cynthia was lucky enough to
have a seat at Ms. Coulter's table at the luncheon and after talking
with her, decided she needed to get back to her writing. She rejoined
both CRW and RWA that day and hasn't looked back.
Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and the great
friends she's made at CRW for saving her sanity and allowing her to
explore her creativity.

BRIEF SUMMARY
Catherine loves running her father's ranch in Creede, Colorado. However, they've been having problems recently that has resulted in stampedes, cattle dying, kidnapping, and revenge. This has ex- bounty hunter Duncan, returning to Creede, to the family that has raised him. Catherine has loved Duncan since she was a little girl, and even though she has loved him and he has returned, she figures she can manage the ranch just fine without him.
THOUGHTS
All the ingredients that includes a spitfire daughter, a loving father, a sexy ex- bounty hunter, great characters, and rowdy neighbors, produces a good old fashion historical western that was enjoyable to read. The moment James, Catherine's father blackmailed his daughter and Duncan to marry each other to protect his land, sets the pace of the story. Both characters were lovable and kept my interest throughout the story. Catherine was a spitfire and could hold her own and Duncan was just your typical sexy country and western guy.
With the explosion of characters, good and bad that the author gave us, was the added bonus needed for this book. Apart from the main characters of the story, I really enjoyed reading Tom and Beth's characters. I found them to be one of the sweetest couples and I'm glad they found the help they needed from James, Catherine and Duncan. I also enjoyed Cassie's character; she was Catherine's good friend and neighbor. I also thought the epilogue was sweet and did all the characters that I love justice. If you enjoy westerns with the addition of an historical feel, then this would be the book to read.

Cat loved Duncan even as a child when the 13-year-old orphan had been taken in by her family.
But now, when he's back after 10 years as a bounty hunter, will he leave again and break her heart again? Cat loves her father's Colorado ranch and runs it like a field boss, but will Duncan take over, both the ranch and Cat's heart? A heart-warming tale of a woman learning to trust and love again and a man who hides what he truly desires. A good read, with some nice twists to keep you rooting for Cat and Duncan!

I love Western romance, and this is the first book of Cynthia Woolf's that I have read. It won't be the last! The storyline and character development are excellent. This book has intrigue, suspense, romance, and humor. For what more could you ask? I also enjoyed the Native American characters included. This is one of those books you don't want to see end. I was happy to learn that there is a sequel, Tame a Wild Wind, coming out soon.

She worked her way through college and went to work full time straight after graduation and there was little time to write.

In 1992 she joined Colorado Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America. Unfortunately, the loss of her job demanded the she not renew her memberships and her writing stagnated for many years.
