title: The Accidental Cowboy
author: Hormel, Heidi
description: COWBOY IN A KILT
  
  When former bronc rider Lavonda Leigh is asked to guide a Scottish archaeologist through the Arizona desert, she's expecting a fussy egghead. But then she discovers tall, strong Jones Kincaid competing at the local Highland games. She can't help her interest in him -- and that's before he puts on his cowboy hat and hits the trail like a pro.
  
  Jones is after more than he's letting on. His quest could clear a past scandal and let him live his dream -- studying the old West. But as he spends time with Lavonda in this rugged landscape, he realizes that what he wants isn't just academic -- he yearns for a life with her on the ranch. If she discovers his deception, this professor-turned-cowboy will lose his reputation…and Lavonda, too.
