Callie had a choice to make.
Would she live life…or live love?
Rem Cunningham, a Princeton-educated cowboy, is looking for a ranch hand. When Callie Parker applies for the job, he surprises himself by accepting her offer. Intuition overcomes logic, and he gets more help than he thought he needed.
Driving down a country road to clear her head, Callie spots the “Help Wanted” sign on a barbed wire fence, leading to a journey that changes her life forever. She discovers freedom, love, and herself along the way. 
The Cowboy and the Rose is a love story masterfully told, woven of happiness and pain… risk and reward. Through her journal entries, Callie shares her struggles and emotions as she works through her dilemma.
Colorado’s beautiful front range serves as the backdrop for this bittersweet story of love, loss, and risking everything.
