After graduating from college, she’s back home and has to face the one guy who purposely gets under her skin—her older brother’s best friend.She hates that she’s attracted to him, but she’s willing to fight for who she wants.Spending time together is a bad idea, but neither can deny the chemistry sizzling between them. Late night talks turn into spontaneous adventures and just when Rowan’s willing to admit how she truly feels, Diesel’s past catches up with him and ruins their picture perfect romance.One secret turns into another and before either can grasp their new reality, more truths unravel—threatening to expose their forbidden relationship.**Catching the Cowboy is a complete standalone and can be read without reading any of the other books or series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.
