Writer of SWOONY, SEXY, SENTIMENTAL contemporary romance
Laura Elizabeth
Jake Smith had it all.
A dream he was born into, a hero dad, and a girl who giddy-upped into his heart unexpectedly. When tragedy strikes, he abandons everything.
​
Seven years later, he's back in Lovestruck for his sister's wedding, where he comes face-to-face with his ex, Cassie Sullivan, who ended up staying in town and converted his family ranch into a...dude ranch.
​
More than sparks fly at the tense reunion. Cassie is angry at the pain Jake caused her all those years ago. Still, she doesn't deserve to stay mad. She has a secret that would've ended their union long ago.
The Reluctant Cowboy is a swoon-worthy second-chance treat. Laura Elizabeth's aptly named town of Lovestruck is crackling with life, heartfelt family love, and the hope that with a leap of trust and a spirit of forgiveness, you can go home again.
