Cheyenne's Lady: Small Town Contemporary Romance Novel - Bachelors of Shotgun Ridge Series | Perfect for Beach Reading & Book Club Discussions

Cheyenne Bodine is the county Sheriff located in Shotgun Ridge, Montana. Emily Vincent is a former resident brought back because her sister and Cheyenne's brother entrusted her to be their surrogate mother for their twins. Tragically, the couple were killed in a car crash, and Emily is needing help when these twins are born. Who better than the biological uncle, Cheyenne Bodine? Cheyenne agrees to help on one condition: they have to marry first. Emily agrees to a 6 month marriage until she can give birth and learn how to mother the twins with Cheyenne's help. Platonic relationship, right? Well, the best laid plans, etc... Both Emily and Cheyenne had secretly been attracted to each other years before in high school, then Emily's family moved away. Now that attraction is starting to resurface, and multiplies after the twins are born and both Emily and Cheyenne are spending so much time together raising their babies. Emily works on her advertising project she has been working on for 2 years from Cheyenne's home, and hoping to earn that Vice President position. When the project comes to fruition, and she gets her promotion, she is ecstatic. That is until one of the twins comes down with a sudden fever and sends Emily and Cheyenne to the clinic to save their baby's life. Once the crisis is over, Cheyenne is bummed out over the end of the 6 month marriage deadline coming soon. Uncle John tells Cheyenne to ask Emily to stay, but Cheyenne is scared to do that because his last fiancee left him when he asked her to marry him and move to Shotgun Ridge permanently. Cheyenne decides to just go to Seattle with Emily when she leaves to go back to her job. When he tells her his decision (in front of most of the town's population), he gets a big surprise. The old geezers who have been matchmaking for months now, are gleeful, and are planning to begin their next project to marry another bachelor off to one of the women they have brought to Shotgun Ridge. This was a touching story of selfless love for family, and a beautiful story of love between two wonderful characters. This series has such good side characters in this town, and Mindy Neff tells great stories. I look forward to October when we get to read Dr. Chance's story.
