The Bachelor's Surrender: Destined For Love Series

New York Times Bestselling Author Janelle Denison brings you a classic small town romance, along with a wounded cowboy hero who finds his world turned upside down by a woman who won't take no for an answer.



A young boy's wish . . .

Lauren Richmond is determined to help an orphaned boy whose only wish, besides longing for a family, is to meet his hero, bull-riding champion Rafe Dalton. The gorgeous, sexy cowboy isn't easy to get a hold of, and when Lauren finally tracks him down she finds a "No Trespassing" sign on his front gate, and mile-high walls around his heart.



A woman's determination . . .

Rafe has no desire to be anyone's hero, and after living a solitary life the past year, he resents this beautiful woman's attempts to make him believe otherwise, all for the sake of granting a young boy's wish. His dark, brooding attitude does nothing to deter her, either, and he's unprepared for the desire she awakens in him, along with the slow, gradual surrender of his hardened heart.



Dear Reader,



THE BACHELOR'S SURRENDER was originally written as a Harlequin Romance in 1999 (as Substitute Father), and is much sweeter and more traditional in tone than my current books. I’m thrilled to have the rights back to this book that has been out of print for years, and I’m equally thrilled to share some of my earlier novels with my readers.



This book was originally written at a time when cowboys, ranches, and small towns were a very popular theme in romance novels. I’ve made a few changes to update certain aspects of the story, but the classic tone remains the same.



I hope you enjoy Rafe and Lauren's story!



Happy Reading,

Janelle Denison
