"The power of love in the wilds of frontier Texas"

Glory Marie Day is one tough little cookie. She has been the sole provider for her small family ever since her father was falsely imprisoned. Glory works hard to put food on the table and keep a roof over the heads of her younger sisters and her depressed, overmedicated mother.

When Glory learns of the opportunity to pursue and possibly capture a wanted outlaw, she saddles up and sets out to bring the man in and claim the reward money. Unfortunately, someone else has the same idea.

Luke McClain is a former Texas Ranger who is out to clear his name. As he is going in for the capture of one of the men who can help clear his name, he is literally knocked off his feet by a fiesty little lady with a glorious name.

Yep, Glory shot him. Accidently, of course, but shot him all the same.

As Luke recovers on the Day family farm, he soon learns how much this independent little lady does, and as his admiration for Glory grows, he discovers that he is falling in love with the Texas spitfire, and vows to help her in any way he can.

As the two become acquainted and their feelings for each other deepen, it is evident that Luke must help Glory clear her father's name as he clears his own. If she will only let him.

THE COWBOY WHO CAME CALLING is the charming, entertaining second novel from Texas author Linda Broday, and it is a spectacular continuation of her story begun in KNIGHT ON THE TEXAS PLAINS. Broday's style of storytelling is captivating; readers become emotionally involved in her stories, and are not disappointed in their outcomes.
