Bestselling Author Leigh Greenwood comes a historical Western romance
filled with gritty cowboy heroes, strong-willed heroines, and a whole
lot of heart in the Wild West.
HE KNOWS SHE CAN NEVER BE HIS...
Logan Holstock, oldest of three
brothers orphaned on the Santa Fe Trail, has always been content
knowing his brothers were alive and happy somewhere in the vast and
brutal West—until he learns he may be dying. Certain he has little
time left, Logan sets out to find them and end his days near a family
he’s never known...and stumbles across a strong yet vulnerable
widow who makes him yearn for what can never be his.
Logan knows he shouldn’t love Sibyl
Spencer—he couldn’t bear leaving her a widow all over again. But
as he finds himself drawn deeper into the lives of this small Western
town, he can’t escape the longing to find peace in her arms. When
he discovers that his death sentence is anything but, Logan swears he
will do whatever it takes to prove himself to the woman he
loves...and show he believes their love is worth fighting for.

This November marks the release of
Forever and Always, the final book in Leigh
Greenwood’s Cactus Creek Cowboys trilogy. To celebrate, we’re
sharing an excerpt from the book!
“What
are you doing here?” he asked.
“I
was hoping to catch you before you left.”
“Why?”
“To
tell you not to come in to work tomorrow. The swelling seems to have
gone down a little, but you aren’t looking very strong.”
Something
inside him gave way. It was a moment before he realized it was his
resolve to keep his distance from this woman who obviously cared for
him a great deal. He was sure she believed the swelling had gone down
because she wanted
it so badly. Knowing that removed the final barrier, and he reached
out to take Sibyl’s hands. It was almost too much for his
self-control when he received an answering squeeze.
“How
could I have been so lucky to find someone to care as much as you and
Kitty?”
“We
wouldn’t care so much if you weren’t so wonderful.”
The
sincerity in her voice was his undoing. Any shred of restraint
vanished. Before he knew what he was doing, his arms were around
Sibyl, and he was kissing her with an ardor all the more intense for
having been denied so long. When he realized she was responding just
as eagerly, it was nearly too much. Still, he fought to keep control.
It almost wouldn’t matter if he dropped dead afterward. He would
have had this one moment of indescribable happiness.
Finally,
Sibyl broke the kiss. “You’ve got to take better care of
yourself. You may not care what happens to you, but I
care very much. Now before I say something I can’t retract, I’m
going back inside.” She kissed him again—quickly this time—then
turned and almost ran back around the corner of the house.
Logan
was unable to move for several moments. His life had taken a turn so
abrupt that it had thrown him off balance. Did Sibyl love him as much
as he loved her? It seemed impossible that could be true. Still, she
had responded to his kiss and kissed him again. Surely she wouldn’t
have done that out of mere sympathy. The euphoria started to wear
off, leaving him feeling week and shaken. Needing to sit for a few
minutes, he walked over to the steps and sank down. Trusty approached
and whined softly.
“I’m
not going to fade out on you yet,” he told the dog. “In fact,
once I get my strength back, I’m going to do everything I can to
live. I might even see that doctor. I never knew holding a woman in
my arms could make me feel like I’ve been half asleep for my whole
life.”
