Cora Captures a Cowboy: A Historical Western Romance

Bostonian Cora Elison arrives unannounced at her family's ranch in Kansas, after her fiancé changed her status from bride to bridesmaid-at her own wedding. But after a few months, Cora thanks her lucky stars that he did because she has found a set of loyal friends, a way of life she relishes, and a cowboy she has become to love.

Dagmar Hamner and his family emigrated from Sweden to work on a Texas ranch, working cattle and herding them north over the Chisholm Trail. After his family decides to settle permanently in Kansas in 1873, he is hired for the foreman's job at the six thousand acre Bar E Ranch.

All goes well for the Swedish cowboy until the absentee owner's daughter arrives, wanting to learn how to become a rancher. Time makes them best friends, until a telegram arrives saying Cora's parents are bringing an unknown groom to Kansas for her, insisting she be married when they arrive.

Cora asks Dagmar to marry her, but he balks at her proposal. Between confusion and interference, will Cora be able to capture her cowboy in time to haul him to the altar?

Read all these sweet historical romance novels set in the fictional Clear Creek, Kansas.
