Charlotte (Charlie) and Jesse are working together to make the Big Marietta Fair a success.  They grew up next door to one another and were even each other's first kiss during a game of Truth or Dare.  But Charlie has been dating Tom Tucker for six years and assumes they will be married.  That is until the day she gets a call from Tom telling her that he has married someone else that he met two weeks previously.  Instead of being crushed, she is shocked to feel indifferent.  Is she in shock or has she dodged a bullet?  Beauty and the Cowboy is the first of six short stories in a new Big Marietta Fair series.  Nancy Robards Thompson introduces us to some great new characters including Jesse's feisty fifteen year old sister, Mattie who has a tendency to steal the show.  This smart novella is fairly tame, but it does contain some mild profanity.
