Waylaying the Hauler

Plunging Headlong into Romance

Denton Stephens plies his trade as a hauler until he drops through a rain-slicked bridge and falls into the Marias Des Cygnes River, where he’s rescued by pretty Haven Christiansen from the nearby ranch. Even with her father in a wheelchair, Haven manages to keep the Kansas ranch running, but when the construction crew lines up equipment to build the replacement bridge, realignment of the pasture’s fence puts her on overload. Needing a new hauling base, Denton trades off ranch work for room and board. When a troublesome project boss makes unwanted appearances, Denton infuses his personal romantic intentions with vigilant defense. With the addition of a truck for hauling and a ranch dog for guarding, 1919 just might be his year for unexpected gain—if he can keep his country girl happy. When an unscheduled stop turns out to be just what a man needs, his heart might get waylaid in the process. Book One of Roping the Rancher’s Daughter
