The Lonely Horseman

When Alexandra’s fiancé, Cameron, was transferred from Pittsburgh to Glendale, Arizona, their wedding plans were put on hold. Alexandra, who was not known to do anything alone or without someone on the other end of her cell phone, quits her job, packs their things and hopes to surprise Cameron by driving cross-country by herself. Not particularly adept at navigation, her car breaks down in the most unlikely of places; what passes for a road in the mountains of Colorado.

Rescued by Evan, a cowboy and horseman whose summer place is less than a mile from where she is stranded, Alexandra is shocked by the dichotomy of his backward lifestyle mixed with a simple, yet profound intelligence. His skill with horses, the way that he can see straight into her soul and his gentle touch send her into a tailspin.

With a promise to keep, Alexandra continues her journey to Glendale, but has the wind rushing through her hair, the smell of pine and sage, and the feel of a horse beneath her changed her completely?

Moreover, will she ever be able to put the horseman out her mind?

Note: This was my first romance novel, published more than ten years ago. I have grown a great deal as a writer, but always loved this story, entitled The Horseman. Here it is cleaned up and revised, though I left some of the charm from my earlier career in place.
