WAY OUT WEST

THE WITNESS

When a terrified Dr. Maggie Rawlings saw her ex-husband killed, she feared her little boy might be next. They started running, with every man a potential threat—even if her son was constantly in search of a daddy. And a cowboy. And he found both in Colt McKendrick….

FBI agent-disguised-as-rodeo-cowboy Colt knew the drill: protect Maggie and her son, and then, when the danger passed, move on. But with each trusting look from the adorable little boy—not to mention each sizzling moment spend with Maggie—Colt was finding a hands-off policy harder and harder to live by….

Because there's nothing like a cowboy.

More About the Author

I'm not one of those people who knew from birth she was destined to become a writer. I always loved to read and throughout my childhood I could usually be found with a book in my hands. To the disgust of my friends, I even enjoyed creative writing assignments that made them all groan. But I had other dreams besides writing. I wanted to be an actress or a teacher or a lawyer.

Life took a different turn for me, though, when my mother made me take a journalism elective in high school (thanks, Mom!). I knew the first day that this was where I belonged.

After I graduated from college in journalism, I took a job at the local daily newspaper and I reveled in the challenge and the diversity of it. One day I could be interviewing the latest country music star, the next day I was writing about local motorcycle gangs or interviewing an award-winning scientist.

Through it all -- through the natural progression of my career from reporter to editor -- I wrote stories in my head. Not just any stories, either, but romances, the kind of books I have devoured since junior high school, with tales about real people going through the trials and tribulations of life until they find deep and lasting love.

I had no idea how to put these people on paper, but knew I had to try -- their stories were too compelling for me to ignore. I sold my first book in 1995 and now, more than 30 books later, I've come to love everything about writing, from the click of the computer keys under my fingers to the "that's-it!" feeling I get when a story is flowing.

I write full-time now (well, as full-time as I can manage juggling my kids!) amid the raw beauty of the northern Utah mountains.

Even though I might not have dreamed of being a writer when I was younger, now I simply can't imagine my life any other way.

I love to hear from readers. You can reach me at my email address, [e-mail] or through my website http://www.raeannethayne.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A FANTASTIC READ! GIVE ME A BLUE-EYED COWBOY ANY DAY!!, October 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Wrangler And The Runaway Mom (Way Out West) (Silhouette Intimate Moments, 960) (Paperback)

In The Wrangler and the Runaway Mom, we meet Maggie Rawlings Prescott, a woman who witnessed the murder of her husband. Afraid for her life and that of her five yr old son, Nick, Maggie flees to work for her stepmother as a doctor treating cowboys injured on the rodeo circuit. There she meets a gorgeous blue-eyed cowboy named Colt McKendrick whose very presence sends shivers down her spine. But what she doesn't know is that Colt is no ordinary cowboy. He's really an undercover FBI agent sent to keep an eye on her. The FBI know Maggie witnessed the murder and are under the impression that she may have in her possesion evidence that will put away a dangerous renegade agent, evidence that led to her husband's execution. After getting to know her and her precious son, Colt knows that Maggie is innocent of any wrong doing and is only running scared. Falling in love was definitely not on their agenda, but inspite of themselves, Colt and Maggie ignite with passion. Now, Colt will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves and boy he's come to love as his own. But will Maggie forgive Colt when she finds out who he really is? Can their love survive the odds?

The Wrangler and the Runaway Mom is a fast-paced read that will keep you hooked until the very end. Trust me!

This review is from: The Wrangler And The Runaway Mom (Way Out West) (Silhouette Intimate Moments, 960) (Paperback)

It has been a while since I read this book [1999] but I do keep track of how I rate the story --
Am now reading a follow-up to this story - "Renegade Father" -- and I shall definitly keep these books in my library --
Colt McKendrick was a fascinating character and finding him again is like meeting an old friend.

I highly recommend these two books to all who enjoy reading and know you will want to keep them for future reading again. --M
