Always a Cowboy
by Linda Lael Miller

He’s the middle of the three Carson brothers and is
as stubborn as they come—and he won’t thank a
beautiful stranger for getting in his way!

Drake Carson is the quintessential cowboy. In charge of the
family ranch, he knows the realities of this life, its
pleasures and heartbreaks. Lately, managing the wild
stallions on his property is wearing him down. When an
interfering so-called expert arrives and starts offering her
opinion, Drake is wary, but he can’t deny the
longing—and the challenge—she stirs in him.

Luce Hale is researching how wild horses interact with ranch
animals—and with ranchers. The Carson matriarch
invites her to stay with the family, which guarantees
frequent encounters with Drake, her ruggedly handsome and
decidedly unwelcoming son. Luce and Drake are at odds from
the very beginning, especially when it comes to the rogue
stallion who’s stealing the ranch mares. But when
Drake believes Luce is in danger, that changes
everything—for both of them.

Linda Lael Miller's Bio

The daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a horse property outside Spokane. Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher's Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. Hallmark Movie Channel is developing a series based on Linda's Big Sky Country novels. Her latest book, Forever a Hero, a March 21, 2017 HQN Books release, is the third in her Carsons of Mustang Creek series. Her first mainstream Civil War novel will be published in May 2018. Dedicated to helping others, "The First Lady of the West" personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.
