Most men would turn away a desperate bride and her child—Cole Covington welcomes us with pancakes and a safe place to sleep. When I flee my own wedding with my son in my arms, the last thing I expect is to stumble onto a sprawling ranch. With a torn dress, no money, and my dangerous almost-husband potentially tracking us, I need to keep moving. I need to disappear. But Cole Covington, with his gentle smile and Mickey Mouse pancakes, offers something I've forgotten kindness with no strings attached. His family's ranch could be the perfect hiding place—or the perfect trap. As night falls and my options dwindle, I'm faced with an impossible trust this stranger who makes my heart race, or keep running until there's nowhere left to go? Because the truth is, Cole might be more dangerous than the man I left behind—not to my safety, but to the walls I've built around my heart. Curvy Girl and the Protector Cowboy is a short, sweet, and steamy small-town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Cedar Cowboys series.
