Cowboy Kind Of Devotion (Only An Okie Will Do 05)

Austin Locke is a devoted dad, an all-around cowboy, and…a total fool. Stuck on his self-absorbed ex-girlfriend for far too many years, he’s given up on finding true love. His little girl could use a mother, but they get by, depending on one another as they travel from rodeo to rodeo. A chance meeting with breakaway roper Natalie Corbin opens Austin’s eyes. She offers the kind of attentiveness and openness that’s been missing in his daughter’s life. Not to mention Natalie is sexy and funny, which sweetens the deal, even though they both know with their hectic rodeo lives, they can’t make any kind of relationship a permanent thing.

Natalie knows broody-natured guys are often heartbreakers, but she’s drawn to Austin and his adorable, lonely daughter. When she meets his ex, she can immediately see why he built a wall around his heart. Neither of them are looking for a serious commitment, but it would be easy to fall for the handsome cowboy and his daughter. Even as she gets to know—and care for him—there seems to be some kind of trouble resting on his shoulders. As their time at the rodeo draws to a close, they either have to make a move toward happiness or the weight of Austin’s secret will force them apart.
