Clearview, Texas – Present Day

Jace Wilder fell in love with Taryn Hillman several years ago, but one night she and her family mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a cryptic message from her to him that it was over. Jace is still wallowing in the loss of Taryn, and one night while drunk, he imagines that she has shown up in his house. Impossible, right? It seems to have been a figment of his imagination until he spots her the next day in a car before it speeds off. Jace decides to do a little detective work and soon finds her at a local diner, where he confronts her. Can he get to the bottom of why she left—and why she's back?

Leaving Clearview wasn't Taryn's choice, but she, along with her father, brother, and little sister, were kidnapped by a dangerous drug lord. Her father and brother are now dead, murdered by the drug lord in front of her, and her sister is being held hostage unless she comes up with the money that he's requested for her release. Getting this money leads her back to Clearview—not her choice—but she soon discovers that obtaining the money proves impossible after the contact finds out who it's for. Now she doesn't know where to turn, unless she tells Jace everything—and gets the help she needs from him. Taryn is aware that Jace still hurts from her leaving, but if she involves him in her quest, it may destroy any chance for a future together. Yet, the love between them still burns hot.

Things soon turn tense in A COWBOY KIND OF LOVE as Taryn is being watched by the henchman employed by the drug lord. They are everywhere. All she wants to do is recover and protect her sister. Her father and brother were illicit drug users who started dealing to fund their habits. This led them into contact with the drug lord, who soon controlled their lives. As to why the family was kidnapped, it isn't clear at first. Readers may need to wait to find out the answer at the end of A COWBOY KIND OF LOVE. Returning to Clearview, Taryn kind of knew that she wouldn't escape Jace's attention. She did show up at his house that night while he was drunk because she had to see him one more time. She is on a mission, but will getting involved with Jace hurt her chances of saving her sister?

There is plenty of action and drama in A COWBOY KIND OF LOVE, and along for the ride (and to help) are Jace's brothers and friends, many of whom have already had their stories told. Check out the author's site at https://donnagrant.com/ under her Heart of Texas series. Once Jace and Taryn are “reunited' things heat up again between them, and it isn't too long before they're making love. She feels like it is “saying goodbye” again. With all the baggage she's accumulated since she'd left town, there's no way that they can have a future together. However, Jace appears bent on making sure she doesn't leave again. Who will win that battle? Can they rescue Taryn's sister and bring down the drug lord's extensive operation?

A COWBOY KIND OF LOVE is a taut and emotional romance that is filled with enough suspense to keep you turning the pages. Find out what happens in this riveting tale.
