For the Brand

Willis Lander was once the T-Bar ranch's best bronc buster. Then came the day when a stallion as black as pitch and as mean as a rattler shattered his knee. Unable to perform the duties required of a cowboy, Willis took the only job he felt capable of handling - minding the line shack 40 miles from the ranch - and secluded himself from the pity of his peers in the Wyoming wilderness. Now, the T-Bar is being sold, leaving Willis to wonder whether the new owner will want to keep a broken bronc buster on the payroll. 

Laurella Hendershot is a Texan rancher grateful for the opportunity to leave the Lone Star State behind and build a new life for herself. And she just may be Willis' last chance.

Get this one.

Read this one when it came out and a couple times since , so when I saw it available in audiobook it was a no brainer . Not going to give any spoilers, but buy it . I only give the story 4 stars and not the full 5 because I feel that the ending is slightly rushed. But still a great story, if they ever get
by the horns in audiobook I recommend it as well same author/ co author and funny thing I feel it’s ending was rushed too.
