The Rancher Meets His Match (Bardville, Wyoming Book 3)

❤ She’s a perfect stranger . . . The perfect stranger to change his heart? ❤

As a single parent, cowboy Dax will do anything for his teenage son — even become a role model at dating. Which is the last thing he’d do on his own.

Enter the perfect stranger: an Easterner, visiting small town Bardville, Wyoming, for just two weeks. No way could he fall for this woman who’s his opposite in so many ways – yes, including being sunshiney to his grumpy, according to his matchmaking circle of friends.

They’ve finagled things to make sure Hannah’s no longer a stranger. Their attraction is growing. Fast. That makes her the greatest danger of all to this rancher’s stubbornly solitary heart.

Emotion and romantic comedy blend in the tale of a single father whose desire to help his son turns his heart inside out in Book 3 of the contemporary western romance Bardville, Wyoming, trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn.

Three strangers arrive in rugged Bardville, Wyoming. They’re never the same … And neither are the people of Bardville.
