'I Came to Return Your Cow,' She Said—The Lonely Rancher Asked Her to Stay for Supper

"I Came to Return Your Cow," She Said, The Lonely Rancher Asked Her to Stay for Supper | Western Historical Romance Audiobook Martha Ogden makes the cheese for the Twin Buttes creamery, weighs more than any man in the county, and has never once in her life been believed about anything. But Martha knows cows the way other people know faces, and when eleven head come into the creamery yard off a foreclosure sale, she recognizes the eleventh animal before the drover gets the gate open. Split horn. Crumpled ear. One blind quarter. A fifteen-year-old milk cow who belongs to a rancher twenty-two miles up Elkhorn Creek, and a bill of sale describing an animal that does not exist. Martha thinks the truth will be enough. She is about to learn what the truth costs. Dismissed, homeless, and carrying her whole life in a grain sack, she walks that cow twenty-two miles up a mountain road to hand her back to a man who spoke eleven words in her hearing and never once looked her body up and down. She expects nothing. What Jesse Latham does instead is take the halter rope, pick up her sack, and ask if she would like to stay for supper. But the cow is not a mistake. She is evidence. And somewhere in a courthouse ledger, in a notary's own careful hand, the same red cow has been mortgaged eleven separate times to eleven separate farms, and Elkhorn Creek has already been marked down as vacant on a date that has not arrived yet. This western historical romance audiobook features a lonely rancher with a dead mother's empty milk house, a plus-size dairywoman who can tell one cow from four hundred, a hailstorm that brings four riders down on a mountain ranch, and a woman who holds up a falling roof with her own back because the man beneath it is hers.
