Reclaiming the Cowgirl’s Heart
Clay West is back in town with amends to make and minds to change. The cowboy has spent four years in jail for a crime he did not commit, and he’s determined to restore his good name. The former bad boy’s first priority is convincing childhood friend Allie Nelson of his innocence. But she—more than anyone—has suffered in his absence. Allie can’t admit how much she’s missed Clay—and she can’t betray her family by putting her trust in him. She vows to forget her schoolgirl crush. But Clay will settle for nothing less than her forgiveness—and her whole heart.
“All I want is for someone to trust me,” Clay whispered. “To believe me and know what I say is true.”
“Oh.”
“I’m not sure if I’ve met her yet or not,” he whispered.
“I can’t choose you over my brother.” Allie felt a moment’s anger that he would ask that of her and then she remembered she had been the one to bring up the question about what he wanted.
“I’m sorry,” she added.
“So am I,” he answered.
He pulled away then and they stood there looking at each other.
She knew without asking that he would not compromise on this point. They were on opposite sides here.
Clay finally moved to open the door and they walked out of the barn.
Sometimes, Allie told herself, a woman had to stick with her family even if her heart wished she could believe something improbable. That was part of being a grown-up. Things did not always go the way one wanted.
JANET TRONSTAD grew up on her family’s farm in central Montana and now lives in Turlock, California, where she is always at work on her next book. She has written more than thirty books, many of them set in the fictitious town of Dry Creek, Montana, where the men spend the winters gathered around the potbellied stove in the hardware store and the women make jelly in the fall.
