He wasnât looking for love
Fun-loving Arizona rodeo cowboy Porter Cash has always been more interested in having a good time than a steady paycheck. But to realize his dream of owning his own ranch, Porter needs this new job delivering roughstock to rodeos. What he doesnât need is a too-serious, too-smart and too-sexy-for-her-own-good copilot on the trip.
When savvy insurance adjuster Wendy Chin joins Porter for the haul, she is all work and no play. But soon, business turns to pleasure and Wendy is conflicted. Her heart wants Porter, but her strict Chinese-American parents will never support the match. Can Porter find a way to prove to Wendy that, when it comes to love, heâs not fooling around?
âItâs about time you learned to hit the bullâs-eye.â
Porter picked up two sets of darts.
âIâve never played darts before,â Wendy said.
âReally? Couldâve fooled me.â Porterâs chuckle drifted into Wendyâs ear as he stood behind her to correct her position. His arm snaked around her waist.
âWhat are you doing?â she whispered, when his breath feathered across the back of her neck.
âShowing you how to throw.â He pulled her arm back and then thrust it forward. She released the dart and it sailed across the room, hitting the wall next to the board.
âYouâre not a very good teacher.â
âSorry, Iâm better at other things.â
She gazed up at Porter and the heat in his eyes burned her face and stole her breath.
Right now, she didnât care about her job or the investigation. All she wanted was to feel Porterâs mouth on hers. She leaned forward.
âItâs late. Weâd better go.â Porter stepped back suddenly and Wendy lost her balance. He steadied her, then escorted her to the door.
Wendy was too shocked to stop him.
A Cowboy of Her Own is the final book in The Cash Brothers series and it seems like just yesterday oldest brother Johnny Cash was roping in his sisterâs best friend. And now itâs time for Porter Wagoner Cash to fall in love. Porter is the youngest of the Cash brothers and has taken his sweet time growing up.
But once he meets Wendy Chin, heâs determined to prove heâs no longer the live-for-today, worry-about-tomorrow-later guy that everyone believes he is. Heâll have to do more than prove he has his act together to win over Wendyâs parents, who want their daughter to marry a man of their choosing. Porter is determined to show Mr. and Mrs. Chin that his love for their daughter is strong enough to overcome cultural barriers and stand the test of time.

Epilogue
âHey, Porter!â
Porter Wagoner Cash glanced up at the stands from the cowboy ready area at the Yuma Rodeo Fairgrounds and spotted the buckle bunnies waving signs with his name on them. He grinned at the familiar facesâgirls heâd dated and flirted with. Sauntering closer to their section, he removed his hat. âHello, ladies.â The women giggled and preened for him. He wasnât the best-looking Cash brotherâConway held that honorâbut his live-for-the-moment-worry-about-tomorrow-later motto attracted his share of beauties.
âYou gonna win today, Porter?â A blonde with a smokinâ hot body winked at him.
âDarlinâ, Iâll do my best for you.â He blew a kiss at the group, then winced when a sharp pain shot through his right shoulder. The old injury had flared up two weeks ago after heâd entered a bull-riding competition on a buddyâs dare. At almost twenty-eight he was growing too old to play with bulls, but heâd rather ride the circuit on the weekends than sit by his lonesome in the bunkhouse at the family pecan farm.
