Once a cowboy, always a cowboy. Colton Hartman hung up his spurs at eighteen vowing never to return home. Years later, he comes back for his father’s funeral determined to sell his one-third share of the family ranch. Except his irritable, unappeasable father threw one last curveball—to inherit, he and his brothers have to live together on the ranch for a year. The ranch needs massive repairs on a tight budget and even tighter timeline, and the best contractor in Garnet Valley is unfortunately the one woman who never wants to see him again. August “Gus” Jones is determined to prove she’s ready to take over her father's struggling construction firm. Which means she can’t turn down the lucrative Hartman Ranch job, even though the man hiring her is Colton Hartman, the man who disappeared after she declared her love and broke her heart. As Colton once again works the ranch, the attraction between him and Gus quickly flames. Can she convince this stubborn cowboy that this time love is worth sticking around for?

The Fallen Cowboy weaves a tale of love, loss, and courage set against the backdrop of the picturesque Promise Point Horse Rescue Ranch. With a captivating new cover, this contemporary western romance will leave readers yearning for more as they witness the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds. The only thing more dangerous than a bucking bronco is the passion between two stubborn hearts. Out of commission saddle bronc rider Jess Coldiron is putting his horse skills to work by serving as the Executive Director of the Promise Point Horse Rescue Ranch. Jess’s gift for taming wild broncos and pretty women has taught him that both can take a man from zero to ninety in seconds, shake him senseless, and damn near kill him if he landed the wrong way. And Jess had. So bumping anything but heads with the beautiful Mallory Montgomery ─ his sister-in-law’s estranged sister ─ is out of the question. Mallory came to Santa Camino, Texas, to fulfill her mother’s dying wish of reuniting with her sister, not to fall for a cowboy with a Texas-sized chip on his shoulder about the limp in his swagger and the woman in his past. But the ruggedly handsome, once famous bronc rider has a sexy smile and a fiery touch that ignites a spark in her every time they’re together. While Mallory understands the pain that has left Jess jaded, she refuses to settle for anything less than his complete surrender. As their undeniable attraction deepens, she’s determined to help Jess conquer his past. But will seducing the fallen cowboy cost Mallory her heart? keywords: cowboy romance, romance, small town & rural, westerns, contemporary, family saga, cowboy romance book, dark past, rodeo, bronc rider, Texas, alpha hero, protector, tortured hero
