  • Once a cowboy

    Creator

    Davis, Justine

    Abstract

    Rylan Rafferty was a cowboy long before interest in his leatherworking artistry and saddle making for the rich and famous catapulted him to national fame. He values his privacy, so when a popular Texas magazine wants to feature him, his first inclination is to run. His military father who died in combat when Rylan was a teen was the artist, not him. But then he meets the photographer, and Rylan suddenly no longer wants to bury himself in his work. Kaitlyn Miller values three things above all else—the memory of her father, her photography, and the mentor who first handed her a camera.
