She belongs in the saddle. He loves the ride.

Bowen

I've never belonged on Crossroads Ranch. But since my father passed, I'm stuck trying to hire a ranch manager to take over, without a bed to call my own. Nothing ever changes around here: including our sassy veterinarian and part-time ranch worker Sawyer Booth. She's the girl I've always resented for fitting in here when I couldn't, but whose sexy, jean-clad sway I've secretly never been able to resist,

When I get wind her ex is still bothering her, it's like a red rag waved at a bull. Before I know it, I'm offering her a deal. I'll be her fake boyfriend, get her ex off her back. All I need to do is temporarily move into her spare room, and take her for a good ride around the dancefloor at the next country barn dance. What could go wrong?

Sawyer

Sexy, studious Bowen Cross is clearly more comfortable behind his annoyingly hot glasses and a computer screen than in his cowboy hat and oh-so-deliciously-tight wranglers. It's no secret Bowen resents me. So when he suggests I fake date him, you could knock me down with a feather.

The thought of Bowen sleeping in the room next to mine makes my heart pound. But I really do not want to go to the charity dance alone when my ex will be there making unwelcome eyes at me.

I should have known that fake handholding would lead to real kissing. Real kissing would lead to two-stepping and hands roaming. and that could lead to so much more.

If only Bowen could admit this is where he really belongs. On this ranch. Between my sheets. And in my heart. Before I get hurt all over again.

A deliciously sexy fake dating rivals-to-lovers Western romance that will have you fanning your cheeks. Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage and Paisley Hope.
