Land & Love: a Black & African American Small Town, Cowboy Romance Novella
Simone Monet
Celine Warner never planned on coming home. But when her late father’s will lands her back in Sweet Glen—a rural town she thought she'd buried for good—she’s forced to confront the land, the grief, and the man quietly guarding them both.
Jesse Cole doesn’t say much. Not since his wife passed. Not since the world got louder than his own heart could bear. But when Celine storms back in, all sharp edges and city polish, he sees more than just the ranch's potential buyer—he sees the only woman who’s ever unsettled his silence.
What begins as a business decision soon spirals into something neither of them a slow, sacred unraveling. Celine may be dressed for courtrooms, not cow pastures, but the land has a way of softening what life has hardened—and Jesse has a way of listening like he’s never rushed a thing in his life.
For the women who long to lose ourselves in a story that feels like a quiet sunrise, a worn-in porch swing, or the first time being truly seen—Land & Love is the kind of book that settles deep. Perfect for fans of small town Black love stories, emotionally intimate cowboy romances, and soul-healing second chances.
[This is a 20,000-word novella]
