Beat Me If You Can
(2025)(The second book in the Cowboys of Sweet Valley series)
A novel by Olivia Darcy
Which is more dangerous: a shattered heart or one you've never dared to give?
Jake Wheeler, the gruff foreman of Sweet Valley Ranch, has enough on his plate raising his four-year-old son alone and keeping the ranch afloat. The last thing he needs is Sarah Hayes—his boss's dazzling sister—showing up with her designer luggage just when his nanny quits.
For Sarah, acting as a "temporary babysitter" for Jake's son was supposed to be a simple break from her busy life as an influencer. She didn't expect the stubborn cowboy to awaken feelings no Instagram filter could hide. Nor did she expect little Wyatt to steal her heart with a gap-toothed grin.
When the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore, two completely different worlds collide under the starry Texas sky. But just as Jake dares to lower his guard, a whirlwind named Rebecca—Wyatt's mother—bursts back onto the ranch, determined to reclaim the family she abandoned.
With a tempting job offer waiting for her in New York and a manipulative ex threatening to take Wyatt away, Jake and Sarah must decide what they're willing to risk... before pride robs them of their last chance at love.
Book 2 in the Cowboys of Sweet Valley series, can be read as a standalone.
Genre: Romance
