Margot Early

Margot Early spent her first years in a dark three-story Tudor mansion, where, gazing out an upper window, she once saw a man fall from the roof. Born late to a large family, she soon became acquainted with the fine shadings of human nature; at the age of 11, she began expressing her findings in the medium of fiction. Early develops the same theme in every book: that darkness and light dwell together, and that truth renders even the ugly and imperfect as beautiful and perfect. She has studied martial arts and herbalism and enjoys walking in the forest, especially in the shadows, where she is quick to crouch and examine any animal sign. This award-winning bestselling author has written 10 Harlequin Superromances and one novella; her storytelling is to romance fiction what Siouxie and the Banshees are to pop music. There are three million of her books in print in seven languages and 15 countries. Margot Early dwells in the shifting landscape of Colorado's San Juan Mountains with her loved ones.

In Early’s romantic novel, Erin MacKenzie has had her fill of cowboys that bail on responsibility—first her father who she doesn’t know and then Abe Cockburn—the father of her little girl. Determined to inform both men of their obligations, she packs up and heads to Colorado only to stumble across the heart of both a cowboy and a father.A solid addition to the Cowboy at Heart series.
