Operation: Stubborn Love: A Short and Sweet Western RomCom (Sagebrush Ridge #1)
Juniper Adler
Lena Marlin came to Sagebrush Ridge for a fresh start—not for a relationship. Running her cozy café is more than enough excitement… until one innocent cup of coffee sparks a wildfire of gossip linking her to Boone Anderson, the town’s quiet, rugged farrier and handyman who fixes everything but his own reputation for being unapproachable.
Suddenly they’re the unwilling stars of Sagebrush Ridge’s rumor mill, and the trio of meddling matchmakers is determined to “help destiny along.” With fake dating rules, forced-proximity volunteer events, and accidental-on-purpose photo ops, Lena and Boone find themselves tangled in a slow-burn connection that feels anything but pretend.
He’s grumpy-with-a-soft-center. She’s sunshine-with-boundaries. And the more they fake it for the town, the more real it feels for them both.
But when old wounds flare and expectations rise, will they finally admit what everyone else already sees—or let fear ruin the one thing worth fighting for?
Fall in love with this sweet, funny, small-town romance full of grumpy/sunshine banter, meddling matchmakers, and a love story worth rooting for.
