Riding the Line

Escape to Willow Ridge with a deliciously addictive, grumpy cowboy, steamy romance! Cherry Hensley just wants to feel strong again. Armed with a bucket list of activities to help her regain her confidence after years of health conditions holding her back, Cherry’s determined to make the best of her last summer in Willow Ridge before graduating college and moving to the city. But when her best friend—and co-author of the bucket list—lets her down, Cherry’s left afraid to tackle it alone.

As the owner of Willow Ridge’s only bar Duke Bennett enjoys being a shoulder to lean on for Willow Ridge residents. Especially his best friend’s little sister, Cherry Hensley. So, when he stumbles upon her upset in his office, desperate to complete her bucket list, he can’t stop himself from offering to help.

But every moment with Duke makes Cherry feel more alive than any activity on her bucket… will they manage to hold the line between friends and lovers?
