Five Reasons You'll Love Cowboy's Promise, a Clean Cowboy Romance

Every book has a couple that sneaks up on me while I'm writing it. For Cowboy’s Promise, my new clean cowboy romance releasing November 12, it was Brandy and Jack. If you haven't read how Brandy and Jack’s story begins, here's the short version. A lost trivia bet sends Brandy to ask out the bartender she's had a crush on for years. Here are five reasons I think you're going to love them as much as I do.

1. Brandy Is the Friend Everyone Wishes They Had

She's the one who comes up with the crazy dares, buys baby clothes for her friends' kids just because they're cute, and always has a comeback ready. She's also a curvy heroine who loves her body and doesn't apologize for it. She's had people in her past who tried to make her feel small, and she showed them the door. I wanted a heroine who knows her worth, even on the days she has to remind herself.

2. Jack Is a Single Dad Hero Who Shows Up

He built The Pint Room into a place where families can grab a good burger and play air hockey with their kids. He doesn't drink, even though he owns the only bar in town, and he'll tell you that's probably the smartest business decision he ever made. Most of all, he's raising Tori on his own, and everything he does comes back to giving her a stable, happy home. There's something he isn't telling anyone, and it's a big part of why he keeps his heart locked up tight.

3. Two Small Business Owners Who Get It

Brandy started Second Chance on a shoestring budget and a lot of canned tuna. Jack took over a struggling bar and turned it around. They both know what it means when your business is your baby, and watching them swap shifts at each other's places was some of the most fun I've had writing a book. Let's just say Brandy is a natural behind the bar.

4. Friends Who Won't Mind Their Own Business

Heidi, Angelica, and Jacky are the kind of friends who will show up on your doorstep and refuse to leave until you put on real pants. They're nosy, they're loud, and they love Brandy fiercely. If you've ever had a friend group that meddled in your love life for your own good, you'll recognize these ladies.

5. All the Cozy Small Town Moments

Thursday trivia nights. Fall mums on the front porch. Chili and cheesy garlic bread on a snowy evening. A whole apple pie from Pearl's Ranch Hand diner because it was too pretty not to buy. '80s movie marathons on the couch. Cowboy's Promise is full of the little moments that make a small town feel like home.

A Sweet, Clean Romance You Can Share

This is a closed-door, friends-to-more romance with heart, humor, and a whole lot of Cottontail Junction charm. It's Book 3 in the Cowboys of Cottontail Junction series, and it reads perfectly on its own.
