Publisher Description
He's the wrong cowboy for her plan… and the only one her heart wants.
Emma Holt has her life in Granite Junction planned out—become a guidance counselor for the high school, help everyone out, and quietly pine for her brother's best friend. But when he tells her that she is like his little sister, she decides it's time for a new plan: shake things up, break some rules, and maybe, just maybe, make him a little jealous.
Enter Gabe Buchanan—a bestselling novelist burned out on deadlines and big-city noise, looking for inspiration in Montana's quiet mountain town. He expects solitude, not a sassy woman who proposes a fake relationship to make his cousin jealous. Against his better judgment, Gabe plays along. After all, pretending to be Emma's cowboy might just be the distraction he needs.
But small towns have long memories, and gossip travels faster than a brushfire. What starts as a harmless ruse soon feels all too real, especially when sparks turn into something neither of them planned.
Yet when the lines between casual and interested blur, Emma has to decide if she's willing to risk her heart on the wrong cowboy—or let him ride out of her life for good.
A heartwarming small-town romance filled with laughter, heat, and second chances, The Wrong Cowboy proves that sometimes love shows up wearing boots when you least expect it.
Customer Reviews
I enjoyed this book so much, that now I find myself at a loss for words
I enjoyed this book so much, that now I find myself at a loss for words. Previously, I had fallen in love with the Redemption Ranch series. So I was fairly certain, before I even cracked this book open, that these would be some new favorite characters. And I wasn’t wrong. Gabe is a charming rascal. But that mask hides the complex and vulnerable man desperate to be seen as “worthy” by the people he loves. Emma’s a little tougher for me to wrap up so simply. The easiest might be to say that she is, perhaps, the living embodiment of that old saying about the gods laughing at mortals who make plans, because nothing in her love life is going according to plan. I fell in love with these characters almost immediately. They drew sparks from one another from the moment we first see them together and that carried through the whole book. Through angst and humor, tension and sweetness, this book occasionally left me wondering if we’d ever get to see a happy ever after for this pair. As much as they embraced it, they fought it too. The only thing I wish I could change would be Gabe’s willingness to take the blame for things that weren’t all his to ‘own’. It took a lot of people to create the situation we read about in this book, and some of them deserve their own share of the fault. In any case, I’m anxiously waiting to see who’ll be the next to get paired up in Granite Junction.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Buoni Amici Press.
