Genre: Christian Western Romance

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 arrives at Vargas Ranch and sees 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.

I enjoy Christian Romance books and Cowboys. Her Mistaken identity Cowboy is Book 1 in the Love at Vargas Ranch Series. I am excited for the new Vargas Family Series.

WOW, the storyline caught my attention from page 1. The setting is the Vargas Family Ranch. The 2 main characters in this book are Shannon and Parker. Shannon is trying to move on from a devasting relationship that resulted in a trust issue. She gets an assignment to work at Vargas Ranch and is startled at who she sees. Well, is it actually who she thinks it is. She realizes it is not who she thought it was after Police arrive and arrest Parker. Shannon was deceived by Parker's Identical Twin Brother and Shannon wants to press charges. I really LOVE how Shannon quickly realizes that Parker is not Lucas, and how Parker is used to "cleaning up messes" created by his Twin Brother. Shannon and Parker begin working together at the Ranch and the relationship between them quickly becomes more then a working relationship. Shannon and Parker both realize that the "Mistaken Identity" might have been a blessing, as it helps them talk through some baggage they both carry. The book is about Healing, Forgiveness, Building Trust and Relationships. The book very faith based and I really love the encouragement throughout. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enoys Christian Romance. GREAT BOOK!
