The Spinster Brides Of Cactus Corner


The Spinster and the Cowboy By Lena Nelson Dooley

India Cunningham was helping with the fund raiser for the Cactus Corner Orphanage when she first saw Joshua Dillinger. Not that she recognized him. He was just another stranger stopping by to sample the succulent meat. She couldn't help noticing that his cowboy clothes were stiff and new. Something about him caught her eye, and she had a feeling he couldn't be trusted. When the stranger showed up at India's ranch and Nathan Hodges, her foreman, hired him as a ranch hand, India grew suspicious. Who was this man and what did he want at the Circle C Ranch?

Joshua Dillinger spent some time at the Circle C when he was twelve. He's never forgotten India, who could outride almost any cowboy on the ranch. She was a wild tomboy then. Now she's a beautiful woman. Joshua received a letter written by India's father before he died, asking Joshua to go to Arizona and help India run the ranch. He came, but India's doing a fine job on her own and would probably reject his help. But what happens if they fall in love? Could the big city lawyer turn his back on his home and live on a ranch? Or would the lady rancher have to leave the land she loves?

The Spinster and the Cowboy is an enticing story of a man and woman from different backgrounds, struggling with feelings they didn't anticipate and aren't sure they really want.

The Spinster and the Lawyer By Jerri Odell

Anika Windsor fell in love with Tucker Truesdale when they were both in law school. They even planned to marry. Then Tucker saw Anika marching in a suffrage rally and the wedding was off. Tucker couldn't abide a suffragist, and Anika had no intention of being tied to an arrogant, impossible. . .man!

Now years later they meet again, on opposite sides of a courtroom, as opposing lawyers. Both are good at their jobs, both are eloquent, and neither has changed their opinions since law school days. But in the midst of courtroom drama, old emotions begin to surface. Anika realizes when the trial is over Tucker will leave Cactus Corner for good, and that's just the way she wants it, isn't it?
Jeri Odell's The Spinster and The Lawyer is a clever tale about two strong-minded people whose opinions are carved in stone. Only God can change their minds. Perhaps that's part of His plan.
