Bridled Freedom
(2025)(A book in the Affection and Determination - Their Wild West Win series)
A novel by Lynn A Coleman
‘A woman horse wrangler?’ Arden Thomas couldn’t believe it, so he challenged I.C. Tennison to work with Bullet, the horse that was untrainable and had harmed more than one of his ranch hands.
Ida Clare Tennison found this kind of reaction to nearly every ranch she worked for. She’d been wrangling horses since she was ten, and started working on her own at the ripe old age of fourteen, having learned the trade from her parents. Not one to step away from a challenge, she accepts, and immediately has Bullet relaxing in her presence. And while her new boss was handsome, she had no intentions of ever marrying. She didn’t want to be bridled down by any man.
Arden, aware of his growing appreciation, and of I.C.’s fear of men, starts writing out his instructions for her and staying out later on the ranch. His mother challenges him to become friends with I.C.
As they begin to explore their feelings, a fire breaks out on the ranch, which spurs Arden to travel down to Santa Fe to purchase the needed grain to replant the seven lost acres. During his absence, Ida Clare’s feelings for Arden continue to grow, which causes her to step away from these thoughts and desires.
In the meantime, Arden starts to build a cabin on the river for a possible future with Ida Clare. When Ida Clare can’t stand him being gone so often, she follows him to the river and finds the cabin. They share their first kiss and then their first argument. She can’t believe he would build a house for them without consulting her.
Arden’s mother challenges Arden to understand why Ida Clare feels marriage is like a bridle. Ida Clare overhears most of the conversation but still can’t accept the idea of being married and letting a man make choices for her.
Can Ida Clare get past the past and trust Arden? Does Arden have the patience to wait on Ida Clare to change her mind? And will they discover what the true meaning of Bridled Freedom is all about?
Genre: Inspirational
