Author: Leigh Greenwood

Leigh Greenwood writes historical romance rooted mainly in western American settings, building long series around families, ranching communities, and people trying to outgrow inherited expectations. Drew is the seventh volume in The Cowboys sequence. The novel pairs Drew Townsend, a skilled sharpshooter travelling with a Wild West show, with Cole Benton, whose arrival unsettles both her independence and her understanding of earlier betrayals. Leisure Books released Drew in 2000. Greenwood’s official bibliography places Drew among the Cowboys titles Jake, Ward, Buck, Sean, and Chet, while edition records identify its western setting and continuing family connections. Those links allow characters from Greenwood’s wider fictional world to appear without making the romance dependent on a single earlier book. Drew uses performance and marksmanship to give Drew a profession uncommon in conventional domestic stories. The courtship develops alongside questions of trust, reconciliation, and whether a public persona built on accuracy and control can protect someone from emotional uncertainty.
