Prequel to THE FORGOTTEN PRINCE

Can a Cowboy and a City Girl Find Common Ground --
and Uncommon Love?

To Wyoming ranch foreman Tucker Gates, the only good owner for the Double Bar X was an absentee one. That's how it had been for ten years. And then came divorcee Jenny Peters. Bringing her two whining, spoiled kids and her city-bred fairy-tale views of life – and love – in the West.

Jenny wasn't going to let Tucker scare her away from the new life she wanted to build for herself and her kids. No matter that he could be as hard as the mountains around them. No matter that she found totally unexpected comfort from his rough strength.

But what next? Because Tucker Gates was a lot of things, but he was absolutely clear that he was not a family man.

Before his Army career and his brush with royalty, meet young Karl, a ranch hand on the Double Bar X who will mature into a man on a mission in The Forgotten Prince.
