Publisher's Synopsis
After her divorce, Summer Kyleson moved to Texas to put a little distance between her and her abusive ex-husband. The freelance photographer sets her heart on marrying a cowboy. Someone kind and hardworking, a family man who'd be a good daddy to her son Logan. All things her ex-husband wasn't. And another law enforcement officer hubby ranks dead last on her list of potential candidates.
Deputy US Marshal Maverick Kester knows he disappointed his father when he chose a career in law enforcement over ranching, but Maverick wasn't cut out for long hours on the back of a horse. Now, with fractured ribs and grieving over his partner's death, he seeks refuge at his family home, Kester Ranch. But peace is elusive with Summer's three-year-old terror roaming the grounds and getting into all sorts of trouble. It doesn't take long for the little guy to rope his heart, just like Logan's mama. When Maverick gave up ranching, had he also sacrificed true love and a chance for a family? Will Summer relinquish her dreams of marrying a cowboy and allow him to be a father to her son? Can they overcome the failures of their past to embrace the family of their future? Roping the Marshal ... A clean contemporary cowboy romance
