The Cowboy's Friendly Wake-Up Call
(2025)(The fourth book in the Slow River Valley Ranches series)
A Story by Rocklyn Ryder
Our friendship is too important for my feelings for her to go messing it all up now.
I've known Mercy was my soul mate since we were climbing trees and skinning knees together as kids. Problem is, my best friend in the whole world doesn't look at me the same way as I look at her.
There's not another woman on the planet that I can stand to be with, so I know I'll probably be alone forever. And that's the fate I've resigned myself to; until I need a date for a fancy charity dinner my family's ranch has donated heavily to.
Those curves in that formal gown are enough to break any mortal man, let alone one who's been in love with her more than half his life.
Is Mercy just having mercy on me? Or will she still be mine when we get back home?
***
Welcome to Slow River Valley and the historic ranches that made men rich when their search for gold in the nearby mountains didn't.
You'll find the men here are as rugged as the land their cattle graze in, with loyalties-- and rivalries-- that run as deep as the river that defines this valley.
Protective, possessive, totally obsessed, the men of Slow River Valley know what they want when they see it and won't be swayed from claiming what's theirs. A woman who wins the heart of one of these cowboys can count on getting her ride into the sunset with a happily ever after that stands the test of time.
Set in the same world as Moonshine Ridge; The Slow River Valley Ranches books contain a lot of insta-love, some swearing, some steamy scenes, zero cheating, and a lot of swoon-worthy happy endings. They're interconnected with recurring characters but can be read as stand-alones in any order.
Genre: Romance
