Cowboys Can't Kiss
2025
Riley Benton
Cowboys break hearts. It’s a known fact
But my career as a romance planner has me moving back to my hometown of Kissing Ridge—-a town so full of cowboys you can’t enter a room without bumping into a Stetson. And I don’t date cowboys. Not that it matters. I build romance for others… not myself.
There’s no way I’m falling for a steer wrestler with a sinful smile and awkward rambles.
I’ve already had one cowboy break my heart. I don’t intend to make it two.
Jackson Sutherland
Riley Benton is all my daydreams brought to life.
And despite that fact, he doesn’t make me self-conscious when my mouth runs away with me and I blurt out random things. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m cute, too.
We have a connection, and if he’d just let himself accept it and move past the friend zone, we could be beautiful together. But he’s more stubborn than a steer who hates the wash rack.
I’m used to working hard for what I want, but how do I convince him to risk his heart and kiss another cowboy?
Cowboys Can’t Kiss is book one in the Kissing Ridge Cowboy series. It features a hopelessly romantic, but awkward cowboy and a guarded former escort turned romance planner who thinks the friend zone will keep his heart safe. A friends to lovers story with a unique first “date” and all the found family you wish you had can be found in Kissing Ridge. Pass the hummus and remember to look up when the stars are out.

Griff
Jamieson Carr is my best friend, the one bright light in my mostly dark life.
He’s sunshine, easy smiles, and a world-class bull rider.

He thinks I’m the reason he’s so good, but that’s not true at all. Jamieson is a shining star who doesn’t need me.
I should be glad I’m the lucky one who gets to stand beside him…but I’ve always wanted more.
Jamieson
Griff Shepard saved my life.
Of course, that’s best friend goals don’t you think? Without him, I wouldn’t be half the bull rider I am today. He’s my good luck charm, closest confidant, and partner-in-crime all rolled into one.
Griff might be a little grumpy, but he’s always got my back and joins in when I sing. Who doesn’t love a good sea shanty?
I thought I knew everything about Griff.
Until a road trip… and one kiss.

Ropers Can't Tie Knots
2025
I’ve got 99 problems, but a fake marriage shouldn’t be one of them.
Hunter Burke
Everyone knows my grandfather was a less than savoury human, but I didn’t think he’d stick it to me in new ways after he died.
I need a husband to claim my inheritance and the sexy new lawyer in town volunteers to step in.
A fake marriage is the easiest solution to my problem.
Besides, it’s only temporary, and it comes with perks.
It’s a simple business transaction. No feelings and no fuss.
He’s city and I’m country. He’s Lexus and I’m a beat-up pickup truck. We couldn’t be more different if we tried.
So why does my chest hurt when I think of him leaving when our time is up?
Gabe Davis
Hunter Burke needs help and I’m just the guy to do it. We have a mutually beneficial deal and it’s practically foolproof.
Pretending to be married to the smoking hot cowboy is no hardship. He’s pure sex appeal on horseback.
What is hard, though, is faking how much I’m liking farm life.
Horses are actually cool, and even the groundhog has grown on me. Porch swing chats are my new favourite thing and my city life is rapidly becoming a distant memory.
This arrangement has an end date, and divorce papers approaching way too quickly. We were supposed to leave feelings out of this, but I think I’m breaking that rule.
I want to keep my husband.
How do I convince him we aren’t so different at all and his chest pain might be love?
Ropers Can’t Tie Knots is a fake marriage, opposites attract, strangers to lovers romance between a cowboy with barbed wire around his heart and a lawyer searching for a place to fit. Chats on the porch in the rain, pining for your husband and so much swoon you’ll need to read laying down.
