"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. 

I hesitated and he noticed. 

"Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." 

"I don't see a gentleman anywhere." 

He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed.

"You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am."

 *********************
Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. 

Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. 

Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. 

Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. 

When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

This isn't the story of how the city girl fell for the cowboy, oh no, this story was how the city boy fell for the home grown country girl. Harper was a single mother with a six year old son as her pride and joy. She owned her fathers old ranch as his last wish and lived an almost normal life. She had proven that she didn't need a man in her life after what had happened with her ex husband, but no matter what she did she couldn't seem to get away from his mistakes. She had known that he had had another child with someone else, but she had been unprepared for when that child's mother passed and how her ex was now getting out of county jail. She knew it wasn't her child, but the sibling of her only love Lucas. She was going to adopt that child and make a real home for her. Only she didn't know what a fight that would be. Caleb was an attorney from the big city of Detroit. He had been assigned to a case that brought him down to the sunny land of Georgia, with the heat and stetson hat fashion. Not knowing what all it would contain he was shocked to be faced with a fierce woman. Independent. A good head on her shoulders. Harper was all he could have ever wanted. He was struck with what he would have sworn to be lightning and wanted to know what made her tick under that gorgeously tanned skin. But they were from two different worlds. And he had a lot to learn if he was going to win over the country girl. Especially with him representing her ex-husband.

Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA) by JeniRaeD

Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesign

Nick| ✔️ by akmsstories

When he caught me with him, all colors from my face were drained. His midnights eyes were starring daggers at me. Hurt was evident in his eyes. I stood up, frozen. What really scared me was his eyes. They were telling me his real feelings, then they went away. His eyes were blank. He turned away from us and started walking away. "Nick! It's not what you think it is! Please, wait up!" I held my dress and ran towards him. He was fast, every step he took, I had to take twice as more. When I could finally almost reach him, I yelled, "Nick! WAIT UP!" He turned so fast, making me stumble. He was gritting his teeth. "How dare you keep this from me." He deadpanned. There was no emotion in his voice. "Nick, you don't understand." I try grabbing for his hand but he moved it. "You know what? I told you every single thing that happened in my life. I gladly proclaim my love for you. Just how can you do that?!" He shouted. "I was taught to love a women at all cost." I stayed silent, not looking up to him. "Is it because you don't t-trust me?" He said, sounding so hurt, so betrayed. When I didn't say anything, he nodded. "Noted. I guess, I got my answer." He turned back and walked the other way without another glance at me. (Ok ok.. I'll just leave this up hehe). ••••• Grace has never fall in love, nor even have the time to experience it herself with her demons and nightmares hunting her.

False Hope by Saharwood

"I wanted you Lily Rose. You were all I ever wanted. You were the girl I loved." Wanted, loved. Past tense, in the past. No more. He didn't love her anymore. It had hurt her. He had hurt her. Just like she had hurt him by denying her love for him. "I'm sorry, Daniel," she whispered as he began to wrap his arms around her. It gave her no comfort. No peace.

False hope because in the end no matter how hard she tried, the fate in store for her sister wouldn't be stopped by the hope that maybe tomorrow would be a better day. Deep down she loved him. Whether he still loved her or not she loved him. Looking up at him with sad eyes she said, "I could never hate you." He offered a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Good," he offered, "because I don't think I can be your punching bag again." She smiled up at him before she wrapped her arms around him and they held each other for a long time. Lily Gilbert is small town girl from Idaho. She's bright, caring, and loyal to a fault.

By Grace[BWWM] by JasmynTailor

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door. "Goodbye," He looked up from the papers and smiled. "Be on your way," And with those final words, her heart crumbled into pieces. - Let the story of Vanessa Grace take you on a journey of transformation. - The Clean Reads Collection Are you looking for a clean read with Christian themes?

Southern Charm by anj6232

Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
