title: Heart of a Cowboy
author: Vayden, Kristin
description: A stubborn cowboy has sworn never to forgive or forget -- but one special woman may find a way to change his mind...
  
  Hospice nurse Laken Garlington helps people face the end with peace and dignity, surrounded by their loved ones. But the son of her new patient didn't come home to reunite with his dad. So why is Cyler Myer back in horse country? It's clear the sexy, six-three hunk with the steely eyes has a score to settle, and Laken doesn't plan on being collateral damage ... no matter how irresistible she finds the prodigal cowboy.
  
  Dying is too good for the father Cyler will never forgive -- not in this lifetime. Showing up at his family's Washington State ranch is the first step in his plan. But revenge takes a back seat to desire when Cyler meets a bossy beauty who arouses feelings he isn't ready to face. As they work together to save an ailing mare, Cyler realizes he must decide where his true destiny lies. With darkness ... or with the woman who offers the promise of redemption with every kiss.
