Tempting the Cowboy
Kennedy Fox · Circle B Ranch #8
An introverted bookworm risks everything pursuing her brother's off-limits best friend — a brooding ranch cowboy.
Description
Kane Bishop’s content with living and working on the ranch, but something is missing—a family of his own. After his twin brother married the woman he once loved, Kane has moved on and is now focusing on new things. When his best friend’s little sister re-enters his life, the attraction is undeniable, but the timing is all wrong. He should keep his distance and not tempt fate, but he can’t get her out of his head. Ivy’s had a secret crush on Kane for as long as she can remember. Although she’s an introverted bookworm who hasn’t dated much, she’s ready to go after him. He might be a six-foot-three, inked, muscular god who’s out of her league, but she wants him to be her first and only. She’ll risk it all to get his attention, but it won’t be easy since he’s off-limits. Giving in to temptation doesn’t come without consequences—it’ll either bring them together or tear them apart.**Tempting the Cowboy is a complete stand-alone and can be read without reading any of the other books or spin-off series, but if you prefer to read in order, start with Hitching the Cowboy as the characters and families do interconnect.**
