Falling for a Real Cowboy: A Country vs City Christian Cowboy Romance (Vargas Ranch Book 1)
About this ebook
Dalton J. Vargas IV has one rule—never let emotions interfere with business. Love has only ever been a distraction, and with his father retiring early, the weight of his family’s multi-million-dollar guest ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona, now rests solely on his shoulders. But when a big-city romance author arrives, determined to unravel the cowboy way of life, Dalton’s carefully structured world is thrown into turmoil.
River Sloane is desperate for a second chance. After her latest romance novel flopped, her publisher insists she craft the one story she swore she’d never write—a modern-day cowboy romance. Sent to a sprawling dude ranch in the Arizona desert, River is tasked with learning the ways of ranching to resurrect her career. But when a rugged cowboy unexpectedly becomes both her muse and her greatest challenge, she finds herself at a crossroads between ambition and the pull of her own heart.
As sparks fly and tensions mount, will River cling to the life she left behind, or will she surrender to love and the whispers of faith? And will Dalton risk opening his heart to something real, something lasting?
