Cowboys and romance novels go together like chicken and biscuits. Most women would love to be swept off their feet by a sexy man with a tight pair of Wranglers and enough grit to do his job.

Caroline Wilks fell for Utah Davies in the summer of their youths. Utah was a football hero off to college on a scholarship. He has no plans beyond football and Caroline. When he asks her to elope and she fails to show up, their lives take very different paths.

Years later they’re thrown together, and Utah won’t let go of the reins this time. While on the road trip of a lifetime, he’s determined to fight for Caroline’s heart all over again. This time he’s playing for keeps, and he’ll even take the cowboy hat and the rundown ranch, as long as he has the girl.

Thanks for reading! Check out ALMOST A COWBOY and fall in love with a Davies man.

BOOK SYNOPSIS

Utah Davies is a recluse by choice, shunning his family and denying the ranch that needs his care. His personal life is a broken fence-line of past failures, neglected relationships, and The One that got away. After his father’s death, Utah is summoned home and faced with a secret in the form of a dozen or so more siblings he—and the family—had no idea existed. A clause in the will states he must find the family scattered across the country and unite them all for the reading. Trouble is, he has no clue where to begin.

Until he comes face-to-face with the old flame that burned his heart to ash.

In the July of their love, journalist Caroline Wilks refused elopement with Utah. After that, she made a series of bad decisions starting—then ending—with a nightmare marriage to a drunk. But when hunky bad-boy Utah struts back into her life, the only peace from the soul-deep throb she’ll get is between him and a mattress. He refuses to believe she’s nothing more than a hard-nosed journalist known for digging up more dirt than the family coon dog, but she knows better—or does she? And how can Caroline take the time to help Utah find his scattered family when she has a feature story due by the end of the month? Maybe the human interest piece is standing right in front of her in the dark, brooding cowboy.
