Brother’s Canadian Cowboy Friend by Flora Ferrari

The name’s Maverick, and that’s exactly what I am.

Many have tried to tame me and tie me down, but none ever will. No way. No how. Not now. Not ever.

But when our three-man cattle penning team for the Calgary Stampede suddenly becomes two, we’re hard up to find a qualified rider who can safely and competently pick out the correct yearling beef cattle from the herd…until my eyes pick out her.

This younger woman is nothing like the herd of women who are trying to lasso me everywhere I go.

For the first time in my life this older man knows he’s found the woman of his dreams…but what he doesn’t know is that she’s my best friend, and cattle penning partner’s, little sister.

Harmony’s my name…and that’s exactly what I’m going to have to bring to the table when I see the way my brother’s older man best friend looks at this much younger woman…and more importantly the looks I see my brother making out of the corner of his eye as he watches his Canadian best friend try and lasso me as his…forever.

Canadians are known for their easy-going, agreeable ways…but I know one thing’s for sure. My brother and my brother’s best friend won’t agree on Maverick’s plans to make me his.

And that could pull them, and us, apart forever…ruining their dream of a cattle penning championship at the Calgary Stampede that they’ve worked for their entire lives…if Maverick risks it all for a life with me.
