Marin Thomas - A Cowboy of Her Own

He wasn’t looking for love

Fun-loving Arizona rodeo cowboy Porter Cash has always been more interested in having a good time than a steady paycheck. But to realize his dream of owning his own ranch, Porter needs this new job delivering roughstock to rodeos. What he doesn’t need is a too-serious, too-smart and too-sexy-for-her-own-good copilot on the trip.

When savvy insurance adjuster Wendy Chin joins Porter for the haul, she is all work and no play. But soon, business turns to pleasure and Wendy is conflicted. Her heart wants Porter, but her strict Chinese-American parents will never support the match. Can Porter find a way to prove to Wendy that, when it comes to love, he’s not fooling around?

“It’s about time you learned to hit the bull’s-eye.”

Porter picked up two sets of darts.

“I’ve never played darts before,” Wendy said.

“Really? Could’ve fooled me.” Porter’s chuckle drifted into Wendy’s ear as he stood behind her to correct her position. His arm snaked around her waist.

“What are you doing?” she whispered, when his breath feathered across the back of her neck.

“Showing you how to throw.” He pulled her arm back and then thrust it forward. She released the dart and it sailed across the room, hitting the wall next to the board.

“You’re not a very good teacher.”

“Sorry, I’m better at other things.”

She gazed up at Porter and the heat in his eyes burned her face and stole her breath.

Right now, she didn’t care about her job or the investigation. All she wanted was to feel Porter’s mouth on hers. She leaned forward.

“It’s late. We’d better go.” Porter stepped back suddenly and Wendy lost her balance. He steadied her, then escorted her to the door.

Wendy was too shocked to stop him.

A Cowboy of Her Own is the final book in The Cash Brothers series and it seems like just yesterday oldest brother Johnny Cash was roping in his sister’s best friend. And now it’s time for Porter Wagoner Cash to fall in love. Porter is the youngest of the Cash brothers and has taken his sweet time growing up.

But once he meets Wendy Chin, he’s determined to prove he’s no longer the live-for-today, worry-about-tomorrow-later guy that everyone believes he is. He’ll have to do more than prove he has his act together to win over Wendy’s parents, who want their daughter to marry a man of their choosing. Porter is determined to show Mr. and Mrs. Chin that his love for their daughter is strong enough to overcome cultural barriers and stand the test of time.
