About this ebook

He craves more than her friendship…

Equine vet Marsh McLintock and P.E. teacher Ella Bradley became BFFs as kids and vowed they’d never get involved in mushy stuff that would wreck everything. Ella’s wedding day clinches the deal—friends forever, lovers never. Then Ella learns her fiancé’s a lying cheat and cancels the wedding. Marsh knows his role—to comfort his devastated best friend and stand between her and the ex who wants her back. Too bad he just discovered he’s madly in love with her.

As Ella’s dream of a home and family come crashing down, Marsh keeps her spirits up and her ex at bay. He looks damn good doing it, too. Has he always been this ripped? Maybe inviting herself to stay at Rowdy Ranch to avoid her ex and recover her mojo wasn’t such a good idea. Clearly her wedding disaster is messing with her mind and her hormones. How stupid would she be to give in to a momentary temptation and risk losing the best friend a girl ever had?

Saddle up for the fun-filled Rowdy Ranch series! Steamy western romances from the NYT bestselling author who brought you the Buckskin Brotherhood of Apple Grove, Montana. If you like sexy cowboys, charming small towns, and laugh-out-loud adventures, you’ll love meeting the McLintocks of Rowdy Ranch.

Ratings and reviews

Love the solid friendship and how Marsh was able to be open to his best friend about his feelings and be so supportive of her choices regardless. They do friendship very well, a new level is trial and error but Marsh knows how to take care of his best friend in all ways. I love that they can talk about anything and be truthful and mature. Great couple combined with this very supportive community, kept me engaged and excited, definitely a chance worth taking. Free copy and voluntarily reviewing.

I just wish we could read about their wedding

Great read!!! Hard to put down!!

About the author

New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson’s love affair with cowboys started with the Lone Ranger, continued through Maverick, and took a turn south of the border with Zorro. She views cowboys as the Western version of knights in shining armor, rugged men who value honor, honesty and hard work. Fortunately for her, she lives in the Arizona desert, where broad-shouldered, lean-hipped cowboys abound. Blessed with such an abundance of inspiration, she only hopes that she can do them justice.
