He’s
running from his twin’s crimes. She’s haunted by the man who betrayed her. Can
she open her heart to his identical twin?
Shannon thought she’d buried the past—until she arrived at Vargas Ranch and saw
the face of the man who shattered her trust. The man she swore she’d never
forgive.
Parker has spent his life paying for his brother's sins. False accusations and
shattered opportunities follow him everywhere—because no one sees the man
behind the face. When Shannon mistakes him for his twin and has him arrested,
his fragile fresh start shatters.
Now forced to work together in the ranch’s equine therapy program, Shannon and
Parker must navigate a tense enemies-to-friends journey. As they confront the
pain of the past and the pull of unexpected attraction, trust becomes the
hardest battle of all.
She must learn to trust the man her heart keeps mistaking for the one who broke
it. Parker must prove he's not his brother before he loses his second chance at
love.
When the past collides with the present, can love build the bridge to healing
and forgiveness?
A heartfelt Christian romance about redemption, mistaken identity, and love
that dares to heal. Her Mistaken Identity
Cowboy will steal your heart.

comments: Her Mistaken Identity Cowboy by Karen Baney
Most twins are
usually the best of friends, except for Parker and Lucas Quaid. Lucas,
unfortunately, likes to prey upon women and widows until he gains their trust
and can swindle them out of everything they have. Afterward, Lucas skedaddles out of town, and Parker gets mistaken for his brother, hauled before the
court and made to pay Lucas’ debt.
Finally, Parker gets hired on the Vargas Ranch. The perfect place to stay out of sight and hide from his brother’s crimes. Parker likes his boss, Dylan Vargas, and loves working on the ranch because no one knows him there and knows his past false reputation, namely, his brother's fraud and theft. At the Vargas ranch, he can do his job and stay away from people.
That is until the day Shannon Burke comes to the ranch to work. Shannon had worked for her Aunt Shirley and built her aunt's foundation into a thriving operation. When Dylan Vargas looks for someone to run his equine therapy program for disabled children and veterans, Aunt Shirley suggests Shannon. But on her first day at the Vargas ranch, Shannon runs into Parker Quaid, and mistakes him for Lucas, who has swindled her out of money. She immediately calls the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Baney’s flawless writing is witty and entertaining while her plotting keeps you guessing and intrigued. The reader rides along with Parker as he navigates his hurt, disgrace, and the emotional rollercoaster of his life. While buried in story, I wondered how one brother, a twin, could do that to his brother. And how could Shannon forget the past, move forward, and trust a man who looks just like Lucas? That question pulls the reader deeper into the story. An intriguing read that I highly recommend.
