Colorado Pride

Greenfield's third Under the Colorado Skies novel (after 2009's Colorado Secrets) tracks the Rocky Mountains romance between Seth Roberts, a handsome Colorado Springs investor and developer, and Heather Garrison Thomas, a headstrong cowgirl he meets on a plane. Seth's just become the guardian of Nicole, his orphaned 12-year-old niece, whom he enrolls in the J Bar D Outreach Camp for Kids. He's pleasantly surprised to find that Heather, a divorced mother of two, is the head camp counselor. Heather resists Seth's considerable appeal, but Greenfield skillfully underscores her gradual surrender to this down-to-earth Romeo by enriching the plot with real-life issues like Heather's son's autism, Nicole's grief, and how families can blend successfully despite a host of complications.
