Books like Husband For Hire (Heart Of The West) by Susan Childress
Lost Springs Ranch long ago earned fame for transforming ambitious young men into respectable men. When the ranch faces financial trouble, a squad of vigorous bachelors returns to Wyoming, offering themselves as potential husbands on the auction block. Among them is Dr. Rob Carter, a 36‑year‑old pathologist known for his ambition, determination, and sophisticated style. While pursuing his medical career on a basketball scholarship, he seeks the perfect match—a highly educated, socially responsible city woman. Meanwhile, Twyla McCabe, a charismatic beauty‑salon owner with a flair for gossip, must decide if a celebrated groom can’t be her future husband. The story blends contemporary romance with Southern‑western charm as the ranch’s fortunes and hearts hang in the balance.
