Cowboyland

Coming this fall: a swoon-worthy cowboy romance with all the heart, none of the spice, and an HEA you can count on—preorder yours today.

One viral video and suddenly I'm stuck with the grumpy cowboy who can't stand me. I tell myself that our relationship is strictly business. Problem is? My feelings refuse to listen. In a cowboy romance, this would be the perfect meet-cute, but Rhett has made it pretty clear. He is not interested in being the hero in our story.

Ember

I'd reached the height of my career. Ember Sage, New York Times bestselling cowboy romance author. I had it all—until up-and-coming author Trinity Lake and her minions got ahold of me. They want authenticity, but I grew up in Chicago, where the closest I'd come to roping cattle was wrangling a seat on the train.

Desperate to save any future book deal, I jump on the red-eye to Montana, where my rental truck fittingly breaks down on a back-country road. The nearest sign of life is cattle... and more cattle. If I were the heroine in one of my romances, this would be the start of my very own meet-cute.

But this isn't one of my books, and I'm pretty sure there's no grumpy cowboy about to come save me.

Rhett

I hate city people.

My sparkling personality is why my family has relegated me to the cattle while my three more personable siblings run our failing dude ranch. We're moments from closing our doors when I stumble on a redhead lying in our pasture with a temper to match her hair. I have to rescue her—the last thing we need is a lawsuit.

I do my best to avoid her. Until she comes up with a plan.

One of her social media posts—the one where I'm the star—has gone viral, and the viewers have spoken. So here's the deal: she films her experience at the ranch to fix her reputation, and in return, she hands us free visibility. Except this time the audience is women, not men. Cowboyland: where women can live out their cowboy romance fantasy.

I figured my family would reject it. Instead, everyone's on board. I want to fight it, but the more I get to know Ember, the more I realize I had her all wrong. Problem is, I don't know what's real and what's just the plot of one of her stories.

And I'm worried she won't stick around long enough for me to find out.
