Roped by Midnight: When the Storm Closes In, So Does Temptation

Quinn Walker has spent her life bracing against storms on the ranch, in the rodeo arena, and inside her own silence. She’s tough, private, unwilling to let anyone close. When Harper Lane, a city journalist, shows up with sharp questions and too much curiosity, Quinn’s first instinct is to shut her out.

Harper didn’t plan to care about the rodeo, let alone the woman running from her every glance. She came chasing a story, but Quinn’s guarded presence pulls her in anyway. Long nights, sudden arguments, the smell of rain on the dirt lot everything seems to push them closer. Then a storm forces them into a remote cabin, where anger shifts into something neither of them can name.

Quinn feels the pull she’s fought for years. Harper sees the tenderness Quinn tries to bury. But when Harper’s article leaks and trust crumbles, old scars break open, leaving them both questioning what’s real.

Thunder rolls across the Western sky, and the choice is stark: stay hidden behind walls or risk it all for love.

Will Quinn let Harper in, or will the storm between them finally win?

The wildest frontiers aren’t just out on the plains they live inside the heart.

In the Cowgirl Secret Desire series, every book stands on its own, but together they tell a story of women who never expected to fall for each other. Under wide Western skies, passion tangles with loyalty and secrets too tempting to ignore.

Sometimes it starts with the scrape of dusty boots on a wooden floor, or the flash of a daring smile at sunset. Barns, rodeo arenas, and long ranch nights become stages where grit collides with forbidden want. These aren’t polished fairy tales. They’re raw, messy, and unforgettable where love grows wild in places no one thought to look.

Frontier grit. Fierce women. Desire that won’t stay hidden.

Are you ready to ride into the fire?
