About This Book
This anthology includes books 7 and 8 in the "Heart of Oklahoma" series by USA Today bestselling author Lacy Williams. 3 Days with a Cowboy She came looking for a place to hide...and found an unlikely hero. Part-time cowboy and full-time physicist Jake Sutton has enough complications in his life: his younger sister is about to be released from prison, and being a single dad to his five-year-old niece isn't easy, especially for someone who can understand quantum mechanics more easily than the female mind. He doesn't need any additional drama, but when country music artist Stevie Flower rolls up to his doorstep in need of help, he can't say no. Stevie is sick of paparazzi hounding her and hiding a secret grief that no one in her circles-not her fans, her business manager, or her peers-can understand. She and Jake were friends back when he tutored her in high school physics, so when she needs a place to escape, she runs to him. Having Stevie underfoot is both a dream and a nightmare for Jake. The disproportionately large crush he had on her in high school rushes back with a vengeance-but someone like Stevie is in another dimension entirely. Can he offer the comfort she seeks without falling in love with her all over again? Prodigal Cowgirl Her past won't let her go... Ex-convict Courtney Sutton struggles to find her place in the hometown that once shunned her and to reconnect with the daughter she hasn't seen for five years. An unexpected secret kiss throws her into a tailspin, but it's the sheriff tailing her everywhere that frightens her the most in this new normal called freedom. Sheriff Eric Cavenaugh doesn't usually regret arresting bad guys, but he regrets booking Courtney six years ago. Back then, the world seemed black and white. Back then, he believed in the system. In the past six years, his career and his life have proved that right isn't always right, and life isn't always fair. He felt something for Courtney when he first met her and decides that life is too short to let her go today. Even if she avoids him at every turn. When Courtney's daughter and Eric's niece get into a fight at school, Eric finds the opportunity to show Courtney he's on her side. But will she open her heart to the man who sent her to prison?
