SWEET MONTANA SKY - Sweet Montana
Someone is using superstition to cause trouble on the rodeo circuit. An upside down horseshoe made Tabby Swanson's skin crawl, but it wasn't enough to keep her from training her prize horse, Tenterhook, for barrel racing so she could get a sponsorship. When Kasper Dobbs shows up at the ranch, she's intrigued and hopeful. The handsome businessman, and former local hockey star, has deep pockets. It doesn't hurt that he's devastatingly handsome and makes her heart pound in her chest more than barrel racing. It almost makes her forget about the strange happenings on the ranch until someone turns up dead, and she and Tenterhook suffer a near-fatal accident in competition, threatening her rodeo days forever. Kasper knows Tabby's fall was no accident. He calls the Knight brothers to investigate the mysterious death and strange happenings surrounding Tabby so they can catch whoever is responsible before she takes another fall. He's fallen hard for the cowgirl whose sunshine smile makes him want more than helping her ride again. He wants the girl for life!
