🐎 "I'm done runnin'." His jaw ticked, his fingers tightening around the rope in his hands. "You sure?" His voice was rough, like he was holding himself back. Jamila nodded. Slow. Certain. "I want this," she whispered. "I want you." ____________________________________ Jamila DuBois never planned on falling for her best friend's older brother, but coming home to Aurora Valley changes everything. Donovan Moore-the rugged, charming cowboy she's spent years trying to ignore-is suddenly looking at her like she's the only woman in the world. What starts as undeniable tension turns into late-night confessions, heated dances under the Texas stars, and stolen moments that leave them both breathless. But with family ties, past heartbreaks, and the weight of unspoken feelings between them, crossing that line could change everything. Set against the backdrop of horseback rides, wild trail ride parties, and Zydeco-fueled nights, Forever Moore is a steamy, slow-burn Black country romance about love, loyalty, and risking it all for the one who's always been right in front of you.
