Hero Harry in Maddy's Llamas



We conclude A Month of Heroes with Harry Collier, from "Maddy's Llamas" by Marjorie Vawter in the MISSAdventure Bride Romance Collection.

Maddy’s Llamas 
1898


Harrison (Harry) Collier is a zoologist at the newly founded Denver zoo. Not only is the zoo only two years old, the study of zoology is fairly new as well. Harry grew up in Texas on a large cattle ranch. His father has no interest in college education, and he has let Harry know. But since Harry is a “younger son,” he doesn’t see that he has a place on his father’s ranch anyway. Then his fiancĂ©e marries someone else, so he leaves Texas to find his own way in the world.


When his boss hands him the task of getting Maddy Williams’s llamas for the zoo, he figures it’s an easy job. After all, a woman doing a man’s job has to be an old spinster, but he knows he has enough charm to wheedle an old woman into doing what he wants. But he is in for the surprise of his life . . . in more ways than one.
