Big & Rough Cowboy's Forever Girl (Big & Rough Alpha Cowboys #9)

I called her a soft city girl. Then she brought me to my knees.

CHASE
I’m a man of iron and scars, and I don’t do soft. After a bull named Widowmaker ended my rodeo career and a tragedy took my brother, I’ve kept my head down. My only job is raising my traumatized niece, Ivy, on a ranch that’s as rugged and isolated as I am. I’ve built walls higher than the northern ridge to keep the world out.

Then Lydia Hatcher pulls up to my fence in a sunflower-yellow dress that fits her curves like a provocation.

She’s the state social worker sent to judge my life. She's supposed to be a push-over city girl who faints at the sight of dust. She's absolutely off-limits. But when she proves she can handle a thousand pounds of volatile muscle in my arena, my iron control snaps. She smells like vanilla and trouble, and when a Texas storm traps us together in the dark, I realize I don't just want to break her walls down. I want to claim her.

LYDIA
I’ve been ignoring pain since the day a rank mare turned my femur into a jigsaw puzzle. Instead of chasing buckle dreams on the national circuit, I’m now a bureaucrat. My newest case? Proving that a massive, scarred-over ex-bull rider is fit to raise his little niece.

Chase is a mountain of a man with eyes like flint and a temper to match. He thinks I’m a delicate flower who can’t handle the heat. He doesn't realize that before I pushed papers, I was a barrel racer who could outrun the wind. I don't back down from a challenge, and I definitely don't run from a grumpy cowboy trying to intimidate me.

The electricity between us is a live wire. I know the rules: getting involved with a guardian is a massive conflict of interest. It could cost me my career. But when he finally puts his rough, callused hands on me, the professional boundaries I’ve spent years building go up in flames.

He’s convinced he’s too broken to love. But I’m about to show this cowboy that I’m not just passing through—I’m home.

Big & Rough Cowboy's Forever Girl is a high-heat, curvy-heroine romance. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and all the steam you can handle.
