"He may be an aloof cowboy...But still waters run deep! Practical cowboy Dougal McCarrick sure didn't believe in things like love at first sight. But the moment he sets eyes on Emory Swanson and the injured dog she's rescuing, Dougal can't help but be captivated by the beautiful Granite Falls newcomer with the mournful eyes. So much so that the shy rancher pours his feelings out in letters. Racked with guilt over her husband's death, Emory's still paying penance for the past. Why does she deserve the beautiful words of a mysterious cowboy poet? Dougal may just be the one to melt the ice from her heart...and in the process, capture his own elusive and forever love." -- Publisher.
