HOME ON THE RANCH

Judith Bowen has a "talent for spinning a powerful story."
Catherine Spencer

Westbank Ranch
West of the Blue River, Wyoming

Fraser McKenna is the owner of Westbank Ranch. Strong, too silent, a still–grieving widower.
Martha Thomas is the woman who comes to stay.

Martha's at loose ends, her job "downsized" out of existence. She's a city woman driving through the western states, looking for adventure. Then, in a small–town Wyoming newspaper, she sees this ad:

WANTED: Lady Companion for two girls. Remote location. No cooking/housekeeping required.

On a whim, she applies for the job and gets hired. That day, her life starts to change, and so do the lives of Fraser and the two little girls.

Who would think she'd end up married to the rancher from Blue River? Even if it is a marriage of convenience, a marriage for the children's sake. And even if she has to do the proposing herself .

Autoren-Profil

Judith Bowen was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and grew up in a logging camp in the Rocky Mountain foothills. She had many friends who lived on farms and ranches, a fact to which she attributes her love of the outdoors and of rural life. Judith bought her first horse at age 12 with money saved from allowances, gifts, and odd jobs—the horse only cost $60 and was fresh off the range! Luckily he was a sweetie, and she trained him and rode him until she left high school. She currently lives in Ladner, British Columbia, is married, with three children, and spends every day of the working week at her word processor, writing the stories she loves. Weekends and summers are for family. Judith's Men of Glory miniseries for Harlequin Superromance, set around small-town Alberta, arose directly from her experience of going to school in a small town and living in small towns all over Canada. She has lived in many of Canada's provinces, from Prince Edward Island to B.C., and writes from the heart, of people who live on the land that she knows best. Before writing fiction, Judith worked for newspapers and magazines. She holds a bachelor's degree in English Literature from Carleton University, Ottawa, and is a member of many writing and arts organizations.
