Buckle up for this sizzling grumpy/sunshine small-town romance that will throw a lasso around your heart and have you hooked.

Chase 'Red' Thompson is HOT Y'ALL. Baby Daddy of the YEAR! Reader Review

A small-town sweetheart finds herself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-night stand binds her to a local cowboy who has had a crush on her for years in this spicy romance from the author of Alive and Wells and Change of Hart.


She lives by the rules. He lives to break them.

Cassidy Bowman has strict rules to uphold her good-girl reputation: she doesn't date the Wells Ranch locals, and she definitely doesn't sleep with men she isn't dating. But after a run-in with her ex-boyfriend—and a few too many drinks—she's ready to buck those rules and allow herself one night of recklessness.

On the other hand, local cowboy Chase "Red" Thompson has never met a rule he didn’t love breaking. With a long-time crush on Cassidy, he's more than willing to accept her offer of a one-night stand and her one condition: he must agree to never speak of it again.

That is until two pink lines render Cassidy's entire rule book null and void. Cassidy isn't looking for a relationship with the rough-and-tumble cowboy, and Red doesn't need anyone to tell him he's not good enough for the sweetheart of Wells Canyon.

So the two make another agreement—they'll be friends and co-parents, nothing more. But as their carefully designed boundaries begin to blur, Cassidy might just realise that perhaps some rules are worth breaking...

Tropes:

  • Accidental Pregnancy
  • Friends with Benefits
  • He cooks for her
  • Chronic Illness Rep
  • Midsize FMC
