ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 7 2021

Two lives cross in a fateful roadside encounter.
When ranch life turns deadly,
will their unexpected love survive?

Addie Malory is struggling to improve the rundown farm she bought. And though she knows she can’t do it alone, she won’t tolerate men who think they can just take advantage of a single woman. Worried all her hard work will amount to nothing, both her hopes and her heart lift when she hires a hunky capable ranch hand.

Cade Brody’s past has left him broken. Drifting between rodeos after a shocking betrayal, he’s grateful to the pretty farm girl and her offer of a job. But after thugs vandalize the property and harass his gorgeous new boss, he puts aside his wounded heart as his protective instincts ignite.

With Addie’s dream in danger under a barrage of financially damaging attacks, she wrestles with the risk of her red-hot feelings for her rugged employee. And when his own past returns to haunt him, Cade may have to choose between protecting the woman he loves and the healing reconciliation he’s wanted for years.

REVIEW:BROKEN COWBOY is the first instalment in Jamie Schulz’ contemporary, adult THE MONTANA MEN erotic, romance series. This is cowboy/rancher Cade Brody, and rancher Addie Malory’s story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Addie and Cade) BROKEN COWBOY follows the building romance and relationship between Cade Brody and Addie Malory. Cade Brody believes he is a broken man having been betrayed by the people he loved but to add insult to injury, Cade found himself walking an old country road following the break down of his in the middle of nowhere. Enter his would-be rescuer, ranch owner Addie Malory, and the woman with whom Cade would fall in love. Having fired her ranch hands earlier that morning, Addie found herself in desperate need of help when a stranger just so happens upon her path. Hiring Cade was the best thing she would ever do but someone has targeted our story line heroine, and the attacks are becoming more dangerous and personal. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Cade and Addie, and the potential fall-out as Addie pushes Cade out of her heart, while her life quickly spirals out of control.

Cade Brody has loved and lost, and in this his time with Addie is only temporary until he gets himself back on his feet. Having left everything behind five years earlier, Cade has been a lost soul roaming from town to town, going where the rodeo and help is needed but Cade never expected the likes of Addie Malory, a strong-willed, independent woman whose independence is about to attract all kinds of trouble. Addie Malory had always wanted to own a ranch but without the experience or help, Addie was struggling to make ends meet. Having fired her last three employees, our heroine continued to struggle but none more so than with the backlash of firing some of the most dangerous and self-entered men around.

The relationship between Addie and Cade is one of immediate attraction but Cade has suffered betrayal at the hands of the woman he once loved, a betrayal that destroyed his love for the only family still around. Believing himself broken and incapable of his own happily ever after, Cade never expected to find his heart with Addie Malory. The $ex scenes are intimate, seductive and impassioned without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Cade’s twin brother Cord, and their friends Zack and Joe; townies Dan, Helga, Ivan, Veta, and Lana;deputy Mark Harden; and ranch hands Ted Bellinger, Pete O’Brien Jr and Jorge.

BROKEN COWBOY is a story of betrayal, vengeance and lies, revelations and forgiveness, heart break, love and family. The premise is edgy, dramatic and startling; the romance is sensual and emotional; the characters are colorful, energetic and stubborn.

Hi there! My name is Jamie and I’m so glad you stopped by!

I’ve always wanted to be a storyteller and spent countless hours dreaming up tales to entertain myself and my friends. I kept long-running, developing narratives in my head for years and knew someday I would write them all down, not only for myself but also to share with all of you.

I have so many stories still floating around the back of my cluttered mind (and haunting my hard drive as well) and they will be making their way out into the world for your enjoyment soon (I hope)!

I still live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, my family, and my fur-babies.
