Rosie Stanton climbed on a west-bound train to answer his ad for a wife and mother, everything she wants to be. But Tom Harris lied. He doesn’t want a wife, merely a mother for his two abandoned children and a cook and cleaner for his ranch.
Betrayed once, he’s vowed never to let another woman into his heart. Sexy Rosie upsets all his plans and threatens to invade his scarred heart. How will he maintain his vow to keep his hands off her as she charms his children, his cow hands, his life?

GETTING TO KNOW CYNTHIA BETTER :
Cynthia Woolf was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in the mountains west of Golden. She spent her early years running wild around the mountain side with her friends.
She worked her way through college and went to work full time straight after graduation and there was little time to write. Then in 1990 she and two friends started a round robin writing a story about pirates. She found that she missed the writing and kept on with other stories. In 1992 she joined Colorado Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America.
Unfortunately, the loss of her job demanded the she not renew her memberships and her writing stagnated for many years. In 2001, she saw an ad in the paper for a writers conference being put on by CRW and decided she'd attend. One of her favorite authors, Catherine Coulter, was the keynote speaker. Cynthia was lucky enough to have a seat at Ms. Coulter's table at the luncheon and after talking with her, decided she needed to get back to her writing. She rejoined both CRW and RWA that day and hasn't looked back.

What Inspired Me to Write My Book
by Cynthia Woolf
I started this series because of the way my parents met. Dad was a cowboy on a working ranch that also catered to people to stay there. It wasn’t like a dude ranch because there weren’t activities as such. No participating in cattle drives or anything like that. It was just a place for people to come and stay.
My mother was a nurse made to a young boy with asthma. Today they would call her a nanny. Anyway, she and the boy came up for the summer to the ranch in Creede from Texas. The boy could breath better in the drier air, cleaner air that was to be found at the altitude of Creede.
There was a dancehall across the road from the ranch. Mother attended one night and met Dad. They saw each other for the summer then Mother had to return to Texas with her young charge. She and Dad wrote back and forth for several months. Dad finally asked Mom to marry him. She came up to Creede and stayed with Dad’s brother and sister-in-law for the night. They drove to Taos the next day and got married. That was in March of 1942.
The ranch in Creede is where I set my first Tame book, Tame A Wild Heart. My new book isn’t at the ranch itself but is in the same valley as the first one.
Creede is a beautiful part of the country. High in the mountains, it was a silver mining town until the boom went bust. Somehow it managed to survive and is now a thriving little community will lots of shops in the storefronts from the 1890’s.
I took my mother back with me when I was doing the research for the book. The ranch still looked the same to her. She pointed out the buildings and what they used to be, like the ice house. The brother of the owners of the ranch when Mom was there was still living on a home next to the ranch. It still has people who come up for the summer, many with standing reservations each year.
The year following our visit, the widow of the brother donated the ranch to Mineral County for open space, meaning that it will never be developed into houses and will always be there for the enjoyment of the people of Mineral County and visitors like me.
