The Rugged Cowboy

A Sweet Contemporary Western Romance

A small-town fake relationship. A cowboy she can’t resist.

He has an ax to grind with his high school nemesis—and dating that nemesis’s little sister feels like the perfect kind of revenge.

Cassady Knott swore she’d never date a cowboy. With only seven of them in Cupid Ridge—and three related to her—that promise was easy to keep. Cowboys just weren’t her type. Not rugged. Not tempting. Not worth the trouble.

Until Tucker Trotter came home.

Tucker left Cupid Ridge fifteen years ago, trading small-town drama for life on the open range. Now he’s back—temporarily—and within minutes, he spots Cassady. Sweet. Sharp. And very much the younger sister of the guy who made his high school years miserable.

The idea comes together fast. Pretend to date Cassady. Get under her brother’s skin. Then leave town again.

Only Cassady isn’t fooled. She knows exactly what Tucker is doing—and she doesn’t mind playing along. If it rattles her overbearing brother and gives her a little fun along the way, why not?

But the longer they pretend, the harder it is to ignore the sparks that have nothing to do with revenge—and everything to do with desire.

The Cupid Ridge Cowboys series is a sweet, clean contemporary western romance series filled with swoon-worthy cowboys in a small-town setting.
