The Forbidden Cowboy: A Brother's Best Friend Small Town Romance

I’ve been in love with my brother’s grumpy best friend since I was seventeen.

Wes Blake has always been off-limits.

First - he was my brother’s best friend.
Second - he married someone else.

Now he’s back in Silver Ridge—widowed, brooding, and emotionally unavailable.
And now we're stuck co-chairing the town's charity rodeo.

We can’t get through a meeting without bickering.
He keeps his distance.
I keep pushing.

Then a fake date turns into a jealous stare-down, and a pregnant barn cat forces us into close quarters.
His walls start to crack.

He steadies ladders without prompting.
He delivers kittens like he’s done it a hundred times.
And when he kisses me behind the barn, the whole town bets on if we will kill each other or get married.

I thought falling for him once was reckless.
Falling for him now feels inevitable.
But he’s still grieving the life and love that he lost.

And if I’m not careful, loving him will cost me my heart all over again.

A sweet, small-town forbidden romance filled with family, redemption, and the kind of love worth holding on to. This book is a stand-alone in a series and does not need to be read in order (but it is more fun that way!)
