The Cowboy's Last Bet
(2026)(The fourth book in the Worthingtons Bluff Cowboys series)
A novel by Ember Nash
One night. One bottle. One mistake he can never undo.
Three months of silence. No call. No text. Nothing. Matt Davies sat on his porch and watched the road and told himself she wasn't coming back. Then he got drunk and woke up in the wrong bed and spent every day after that paying for a night he couldn't take back.
When Ashlea finally drove home to tell him she loved him, he was standing on his porch with a ring on his finger and a baby on the way.
She didn't scream. She didn't cry. She got in her car, drove to California, and didn't stop until the man she loved was a wound she refused to name.
Three years later, she's home. He's divorced. And the daughter he made with someone else just ran across a feed store and said hi like none of it ever happened.
Ruby has his dark hair. His stubborn jaw. And a smile that hits like a sucker punch because it belongs on the face of a child who was never supposed to exist in a life that was supposed to be hers.
Matt's ranch is going under. The bank is circling. He skips meals so his kid eats. He's held everything together with his bare hands for three years except the one thing that mattered — and she's standing ten feet away deciding whether to save him or let him drown.
He broke her once. Completely. The kind of break that doesn't heal clean.
But his little girl keeps reaching for her. And the man who destroyed her keeps looking at her like she's the only thing he's ever been afraid to lose.
She swore she'd never let him close again.
He swore he'd never stop fighting this time.
One of them is going to break first.
Cowboy's Last Bet is a second-chance, single-dad cowboy romance. The betrayal is real. The grovel is earned. Open door. HEA.
Genre: Romance
