He fiercely protects his secrets. She's wary of his distance... A puppy, snowstorm, and matchmaking boss have other ideas.
When fire ravages Wyoming land, fireweed is among the first plants to return, brightening the blighted area with the joy of its blooms. Small-town lawyer Taylor Anne Larsen faces the challenge of doing the same for the pain-ravaged heart and disbelieving soul of ranch foreman Cal Ruskoff. Armed with the same grace and grit as the wildflower fireweed, Taylor also has allies - a matchmaking friend, a harsh western blizzard, high-octane mutual attraction, and a rescued puppy who slips past the defenses of this tough cowboy.
While they're snowbound together, Cal might give in to passion temporarily, but from behind the wall he's built around his past and his secrets, he's certain Taylor is all that he can't let himself have. And he'll use all his weapons to keep her out. "These characters -- their dialogue, their fears, their complex personalities -- are very real. As a reader, I couldn't help fall under Cal's spell -- a good, troubled, mixed-up man who forces Taylor to confront some of her own demons, even as he refuses to face his own . . . There's a lot of subtle -- and not so subtle -- humor here, the love scenes are at once tender and sizzling, and the emotions and fears of both characters wrap themselves around the reader's heart and don't let go." - Karen Templeton, Amazon review"Page turner, cute, funny. Can't wait to get the next in line" - 5*"This is a great western story and would recommend you to read it. The author has great stories and I haven't found one of her books I don't like." - 5*Wildflowers have to be strong and resilient to bloom amid the rugged western beauty of Wyoming - and so do the women.Wyoming Wildflowers seriesWyoming Wildflowers: The Beginning (Snowberry)Almost a Bride (Indian Paintbrush)Match Made in Wyoming (Fireweed)My Heart Remembers (Bur Marigold)A New WorldJack's Heart (Yellow Monkeyflower)Rodeo NightsWhere Love Lives (Threadleaf Phacelia), A Cowboy Wedding

Author's note: The collie puppy in Match Made in Wyoming is the alter ego of my much-loved rescue collie Riley ... right down to the inconvenient penchant for opening doors at the wrong moment. Although for Taylor and Cal, it turns out to be the right moment.: - )
