Donât miss Country Proud, the second book in Linda Lael Millerâs Painted Pony Creek series about three best buddies whose strength, honor and independence exemplify the Montana land they love.
Thereâs something missing from Eli Garrettâs life. He loves being the sheriff of Painted Pony Creek, Montana, so itâs not his job. Heâs had the same two best friends since he was a kid and heâs grateful for them, so itâs not that, either. But ever since his buddy Cordâs recent marriage, Eli has a nagging suspicion that he wants what Cord has. And thereâs a beautiful woman who has caught his eyeâsomeone whoâs returned to town that he canât get off his mind. Brynne Bailey is spirited and compassionate, and being with her makes Eli feel alive again. But he suspects thereâs more to her than she is letting on, and he is determined to get to the bottom of it.
