Official synopsis Publisher
A modern twist on GOLDILOCKS, with a Growly Alpha Cowboy instead of three smelly bears.
Former barrel racer and Christmas decorator extraordinaire Jolene West is from the notorious Wild West clan in Wyoming and visiting her cousins in Montana for Christmas. When her tire blows out in the middle of a blizzard, she has no choice but to travel by foot to the only building with its lights on, the local dive Boondocks.
(Cue hero) Travis Cassidy is the stud who’s been behind the bar at Boondocks for every story in the Wild Wests series. He’s a forty-one-year-old growly cowboy to the nth degree who pretty much loses his mind when he comes home from a Christmas party and discovers our heroine fast asleep in his bed.
Travis isn’t much into Christmas, but when it comes to Jolene, he’s one obsessed cowboy. And he’s old enough to recognize trouble when the twenty-one-year-old blue eyed blonde break-in artist starts tempting him, wearing nothing but his flannel shirt. She’s making him think of doing things a man his age should have the willpower to resist.
But maybe trouble is exactly what this gorgeous salt and peppered cowboy needs this holiday season.
Problem is, once Travis gives in to his desires, if he has it his way, Jolene might never get back on the road again.
Saddle up, Sugar. The cowboy-cavemen are back, with a rootin’ tootin’ cowgirl thrown into the mix! Expect high heat, love at first sight, and an over-the-top plot.
Grab the reins, saddle up for a Joy Ride!
Standalone Read. Happily ever after guaranteed.
