Meet a cowboy and an heiress in
Becky Wade’s
contemporary romance
Undeniably Yours
Bethany House
The Story
When Meg Cole’s father dies unexpectedly, she becomes the majority shareholder of his oil company and the single inheritor of his fortune. Though Meg is soft-spoken and tenderhearted–more interested in art than in oil–she’s forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of her father’s empire.
The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father’s thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down.
Bo’s determined to resent the woman who’s decided to rob him of his dream. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them–her wealth, his unworthiness, her family’s outrage–and earn the right to love her.
But just when Meg begins to realize that Bo might be the one thing on the ranch worth keeping, their fragile bond is viciously broken by a force from Meg’s past. Can their love–and their belief that God can work through every circumstance–survive?
Enjoy meeting Meg & Bo
Brief physical description
Meg has long blond hair, light brown eyes, curvy build. Her make-up clothing and hairstyle — always impeccable.
Bo has a tall work-hardened body, stunning grey eyes, rugged even features, very close-cropped hair.
Resembles…
See pics!
Strengths and weaknesses
Meg’s greatest strength is her generosity. Her weakness is her anxiety. When the book opens we find her struggling against panic attacks.
Bo’s greatest strength is his integrity. His greatest weakness is his belief that he’s not good enough, not worthy enough, for Meg.
Quirk (if any)
Meg: Her eyes fill with tears every time she encounters deep emotion.
Bo: Loves Dr. Pepper.
Your inspiration for the characters
Meg: I was walking through Nordstroms one day and spotted a pair of fancy pale pink heels. They were strappy and ultra feminine and expensive. I thought, “Who would wear those?” And came up with Meg.
Bo: The Texas cowboys of the Old West.
Background to the story
I’m a huge fan and student of the romance genre. When I think back over all the decades of my relationship with love stories, a few classic plotlines rise to the top as my personal favourites. They inspire me and challenge me to adapt them into modern times and give them my own unique twist.
Undeniably Yours is my contemporary version of a Regency love story between a wealthy and well educated Countess and the man who works for her in her stables taking care of her horses.
The book begins with Meg attempting to fire Bo after inheriting her father’s ranch. As it turns out, Bo is a wee bit more difficult to fire than expected…..
Thanks Becky!

Love Becky Wade! Loved the book.
Just now realized that yes, Meg was rather emotional. But it didn’t bother me as a reader. I’d heard an agent say a few years back that your characters shouldn’t cry a lot. But good grief, some of us just DO! And it fit Meg and I loved what it brought out in Bo’s character. It worked. 🙂

Thank you, Sally! Meg’s tearfulness was inspired by an aunt of mine, who gets teary over deep emotion, too. Some of us are tenderhearted that way!

Sally Bradley » You are spot on, Sally 🙂 Good to hear you loved the book – my review will be up soon.
May 10, 2013 at 4:18 am
YES. Simply YES!
By now, Becky probably knows how excited I am to read this sooo.. no need to say it again?
Whoo-hoo!

Meg and Bo! This couple was too precious – thanks for sharing them with us, Becky. 🙂 Glad they earned a character spotlight here, Rel.
