That Cowboy of Mine

The twists and turns keep coming in this gripping standalone romance from Grant (My Fiery Valentine). Dillon Young inherits her aunt Dolly’s ranch in Texas’s Hill Country and decides to keep the property despite escalating offers from neighboring rancher, Hank Stephens. But as she settles in, “accidents” happen with increasing frequency, starting when her new prize stallion is stolen and ending when someone shoots at her. The incidents coincide with the arrival of handsome bull rider Cal Bennett, who wakes up hungover in Dillon’s barn with no memory of how he got there. Despite this suspicious introduction and Cal’s longtime connection to Hank, he quickly proves himself trustworthy. When local law enforcement is revealed to be in cahoots with the bad guys, it’s down to Dillon, Cal, and a special agent from the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association to get to the bottom of what’s going on. And as the threat intensifies, Cal suggest he and Dillon fake a relationship for her protection, sparking intense feelings. Grant keeps the plot rocketing along, capping with a stunning betrayal readers won’t see coming. It’s an un-put-downable ride. (Apr.)
