Mary Beth is the kind of woman who wishes she had a five-second delay on her mouth. The swath of verbal destruction she leaves is why she goes west to start over. But any resolve to hold her tongue is lost immediately when she meets Jacob, a Lakota cowboy who says next to nothing – especially about the black leather mask that covers half his face. 

Jacob’s silence is his armor in a white man’s world, but even that isn’t enough to protect him – or the mute girl he guards – from forces he can’t control. Fascinated by the masked cowboy and drawn to defend the girl, Mary Beth finds herself in the middle of a decades-old power struggle that only she could talk her way out of.

Note: This book was previously published as Masked Cowboy in 2013

“4 1/2 stars TOP PICK! Ms. Anderson writes with an entertaining and intelligent style… I thoroughly enjoyed this smart, complex and fascinating story.”–Night Owl Reviews

“4 stars–The second Men of the White Sandy series combines a sizzling romance with a genuinely intriguing tale of a small town’s secrets, histories and sins. Her scarred hero’s story is absorbing, but Anderson wisely examines her heroine’s past with similar care, making this a story of two fully realized characters who challenge and fulfill each other. The mystery adds a spark to the plot, driving the action and ratcheting up the tension to create a novel that fans and new readers alike will enjoy.”–RT Book Reviews

“4 1/2 stars TOP PICK: This is a sexy, slightly angsty tale between an emotionally and physically scarred man and a ball buster heroine. It made me laugh, made me swoon and made me mad; any book that elicits all those emotions has got to be a reread.”–Scorching Reviews

“4 stars/Grade B. I recently read my first Sarah Anderson book (from a different series) and really liked her voice. When I found out this hero was scarred and a bit tortured, I had to try it. I’m happy to say, I enjoyed this one.”–SmexyBooks

“4 1/2 stars. What can I say about Jacob Plenty Holes? He is just fascinating…The ending was extremely dramatic and the aftermath really sweet. It got me all emotional.”–A Pleasant Journey

“4 Stars! This is a couple who don’t have an easy path to love but it is a love you know will last as it is built on mutual respect and need plus a good dose of friendship… I really enjoyed it.  I’m ready for more in the series especially…  Nobody!!!”–Book-a-Holic Anon

“4 Stars! Masked Cowboy is a perfect addition to the series. I love Sarah M. Anderson’s style and the unique characters she creates.”–Swept Away by Romance 

“4 Stars! MASKED COWBOY is one exceptional book!  I was so impressed with Sarah M. Anderson’s writing talent.  How she crafted such a deeply emotional, high impact story is very impressive.  Jacob and Mary Beth are characters you quickly fall in love with, the secondary characters of Kip and Robin make this book outstanding reading experience.”–Mystic Reviews

“4 Stars! Once again, Sarah M. Anderson delivers a lovely contemporary, one that is both sweet and sexy, fun and a little bit mysterious. With Masked Cowboy she gives a twist on the usual “cowboy” story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!”–The Book Queen
