Inheriting a Rodeo Cowboy

By Michele Dunaway

On Sale: 8/25/2026
Her grandfather left her a ranch… 

And a rodeo cowboy! 

Kristen Larrabee is surprised when she inherits her grandfather’s ranch, but she’s even more stunned when she learns the conditions: She has to stay on the ranch for a year…and she has to run it with Lucas Thomas. Reeling from her recent divorce, Kristen and Lucas shared a steamy night on her last trip home. But the bigger problem is that the rodeo rider is a member of the family that’s been feuding with her family for years. Kristen can’t deny that the cowboy is good at his job and oh-so-tempting to lean on. But can she trust him with her family’s ranch…or her heart? 

From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.
