A Cowboy and his Neighbor
Emmy Eugene · Chestnut Ranch #1
A divorced woman returns home and falls for her childhood crush — her best friend, the cowboy next door.
Description
This is why cowboys should never marry their best friend... Jenna Wright grew up next-door to Chestnut Ranch and the five Johnson brothers. Her older brother was best friends with Seth Johnson, and Jenna may or may not have had a crush on the handsome cowboy in her younger years. It was a long time ago, she tells herself. Now that she's divorced and back in town, she definitely has eyes for her best friend. Will he ever notice her? Jenna reasons that he's busy with his ranch and his dog rescue operation. They had an Edible Neighborhood project they were working until funding became a problem, and when Seth learns he's inherited over two billion dollars from his mother's half of a family cosmetic empire, he rushes to tell Jenna they can now fund the Edible Neighborhood. He wasn't supposed to kiss her. It was an accident, he tells himself. But Seth's own feelings roar to the surface, and he can't ignore them. Where did those come from? Can best friends Seth and Jenna navigate their rocky pasts to find a future happily-ever-after together? Read all the Chestnut Ranch Cowboy Billionaires by Emmy Eugene: 1.
