Wrangling myself a cowboy was supposed to be a rowdy one-night stand, not turn my carefully cataloged life upside down.

As a librarian, I was used to steamy romance between the pages. But as a lonesome single woman, I needed to corral some trailblazing between the sheets …

Buck Off Ranch seemed like the perfect place to put on my big-girl britches and throw a plot twist in my story.

Mysterious cowboy Tripp Miller was as rugged as he was handsome. After he left me tickled pink at the local saloon, I was determined to live out my favorite Western romance with him as my leading man.

Rope me. Ride me. Satisfy me.

Talk about sore in the saddle!

It turned out, this small town had sparked quite the big adventure.

I was caught somewhere between saving a horse and riding a cowboy or galloping right out of my comfort zone.

I just hoped Tripp was up for the ride because I reckoned I needed more than eight seconds.
