Falling for a Real Cowboy by Karen Baney

Falling for a Real Cowboy by Karen Baney

She’s chasing redemption. He’s running from love. Can faith bridge the divide between them?

Dalton J. Vargas IV has one rule—never let emotions interfere with business. Love has only ever been a distraction, and with his father retiring early, the weight of his family’s multi-million-dollar guest ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona, now rests solely on his shoulders. But when a big-city romance author arrives, determined to unravel the cowboy way of life, Dalton’s carefully structured world is thrown into turmoil.

River Sloane is desperate for a second chance. After her latest romance novel flopped, her publisher insists she craft the one story she swore she’d never write—a modern-day cowboy romance. Sent to a sprawling dude ranch in the Arizona desert, River is tasked with learning the ways of ranching to resurrect her career. But when a rugged cowboy unexpectedly becomes both her muse and her greatest challenge, she finds herself at a crossroads between ambition and the pull of her own heart.

As sparks fly and tensions mount, will River cling to the life she left behind, or will she surrender to love and the whispers of faith? And will Dalton risk opening his heart to something real, something lasting?

Love is in the air at the Vargas Guest Ranch & Resort near Wickenburg, Arizona. The Vargas family lives and breathes their family motto: We do not deviate from the Lord’s plan.

Protected By A Damaged Ex-SEAL by Aria McDow

Protected By A Damaged Ex-SEAL by Aria McDow

Surfing gold was my only goal—until an ex-SEAL billionaire heir became my ride-or-die.

I spent the night with a stranger.

Not that…

My Jeep careened out of control.

Jaime Hendricks came running down the beach, half-naked, to save me.

He’s tanned, muscled to perfection, with mesmerizing ocean-blue eyes.

I should have left in the morning but didn’t.

He’s one hot distraction.

By day I competitively surf.

By night, his body is my surfboard, and I ride the highest waves.

Now the competition’s turned dangerous—sabotage, kidnapping, betrayal.

I don’t need a hero. I need a bodyguard.

Nobody guards my body like Jaime.

Nobody protects my heart like me.

My world’s upside down, and I’m in trouble deep.

Winning was everything, Not anymore.

The surf crown looks bronze but his love’s pure gold.

But the past won’t stay buried.

I have trust issues, Jamie has PTSD, and we both have secrets.

His? The billionaire father raising the boy Jaime isn’t sure is his.

Mine? Childhood abandonment issues.

Going for gold means risking everything for a love that will either save us or leave us both permanently broken.
