The Confident Cowboy

A Sweet Contemporary Western Romance

Two widowed hearts. One chance at forever.

Bobbie Ludington never expected to fight for her ranch—or her heart.

After losing her husband, Bobbie built a quiet, steady life running her beloved dude ranch. But when a legal complaint threatens everything she’s worked for, she’s forced to confront the neighboring ranch family responsible—even if it means reopening old wounds and sitting across the table from a man she never expected to care about.

Gus Knott has been surviving, not living, since his wife passed away. His ranch is his legacy, his responsibility, and his shield against grief. Falling for Bobbie Ludington was never part of the plan. Yet every conversation, every shared memory, and every reluctant smile makes it harder to deny the connection growing between them.

But love doesn’t just involve two hearts.

Longstanding rivalries and deeply rooted family loyalties stand in their way. To build a future together, Bobbie and Gus must convince their children—and themselves—that forgiveness, healing, and second chances are worth the risk.

In Cupid Ridge, love arrives quietly… and stays forever.
