Brother, Protector, Lover
In this episode we dig into the second book of Jody Hedlund’s Colorado Cowboys series, The Heart of a Cowboy. She brings her readers an irresistible cowboy who is a brother, protector, and lover.
Fall in love with the second oldest sibling of the McQuaid family. Since Wyatt moved out west to create a home for them, Flynn has stepped up as not only the oldest brother but also as father figure for his younger siblings. His love for his siblings is fierce.
Flynn held Ivy’s gaze a moment longer, then shifted it to Linnea. The crinkles at the corners of his eyes spoke of worry more than anger. She guessed he was one of the older brothers Ivy had spoken about, trying to take care of his younger siblings now that his parents were gone. (p.18 Hedlund, Jody The Heart of a Cowboy)
The heart of a man changed by God only heightens Flynn’s desire to protect all of those under his care. He’ll stop at nothing to keep his family and Linnea safe, but he must learn to trust God with their protection and safety.
He released a tight breath. If only he could be in all places at all times. Then maybe he’d be able to keep everyone safe.
“You’re not God.” Linnea’s comment came back to taunt him. (p.127 Hedlund, Jody The Heart of a Cowboy)
Linnea falls hard for the handsome, capable, strong, yet gentle cowboy. Flynn is not immune to the beauty and kindness of Linnea. As they travel together he not only saves her from peril, but falls in love with her. Linnea discovers that Flynn is a man capable of great love.
He reached for her. Lord Almighty, help him. He shouldn’t do this, but he knew he was going to. He skimmed his fingers over the high arched cheekbone even as he leaned toward her. Her breathing hitched. The soft intake added fuel to the low-burning fire inside. He couldn’t stop himself now-didn’t want to stop. He let himself caress her ear and then find the back of her neck. As he used the pressure to tug her nearer, he shifted his weight, bringing himself against her. (p. 197-198, Hedlund, Jody The Heart of a Cowboy)
