He may not be perfect...
But he’s perfect for her!
Ryan DeMere is definitely enjoying the perks of being Sweetheart Ranch’s new wrangler—the best is working with head chef Bridget O’Malley. He’s fallen head over spurs for the talented and determined beauty. There’s just one hiccup. Bridget is holding out for Mr. Right—and Ryan doesn’t quite meet her requirements. But he’s determined to win Bridget over, because Ryan may not be perfect...but maybe their love could be.
Since 2006, New York Times bestselling author CATHY MCDAVID has been happily penning contemporary Westerns for Mills & Boon. Every day, she gets to write about handsome cowboys riding the range or busting a bronc. It’s a tough job, but she’s willing to make the sacrifice. Cathy shares her Arizona home with her own real-life sweetheart and a trio of odd pets. Her grown twins have left to embark on lives of their own, and she couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments.

“How ’bout you and I have dinner soon? There has to be an evening we’re both free.”
Ryan was asking her on a date. Expected, she thought, and yet unexpected.
“I don’t think that’s wise.”
“Is there a rule against employees dating? Because your grandmother eloped with your staff minister.”
“No, there’s no rule. That’s not the reason.”
“Another man? The doctor at the clinic?”
He had heard Bridget discussing Dr. Hall with her grandmother. “No.” Not yet, she silently added.
“Then what’s stopping you?”
“I don’t think we have the same objectives when it comes to relationships.”
“It’s just dinner.” Ryan’s voice had dropped to a husky level that made concentrating hard.
“And therein lies the problem.” Drawing on her willpower, she straightened. “I’m not interested in just dinner or hanging out or friends with benefits. I’m looking for a guy who’s ready now to commit to me and to having a family and who’s content making Mustang Valley his home. I don’t believe that describes you.”
Once, sometimes it feels like ages ago, I co-owned and managed a commercial construction company. It actually wasn’t that long ago—only four years, in fact—since writing became my only job. But it often seems like decades.
I’ve always drawn on personal experiences for my books in that I owned and rode horses almost my entire life. I still get to play with horses when I visit my son every week, so it’s not as if I’ve given them up entirely. But I seldom include aspects from my days as a construction company co-owner in my books. That was until The Cowboy’s Perfect Match. Ryan DeMere is a man of many talents. In addition
