Four Corners, Oregon – Present Day 

Left to raise his infant daughter, June Bug, on his own, rancher Sawyer Garrett decides to find a mail-order bride just like his late grandfather had done years ago. He gets a few responses, and though he wonders how serious they are, one catches his eye: New Yorker Evelyn Moore. She seems sincere, so Sawyer invites her to stay with him and Bug (that’s the nickname he calls the baby) for two weeks to see how it works out. The woman who arrives is nothing like what Sawyer expected. She’s beautiful, smart, and someone he can see taking to his bed with pleasure. 

Evelyn had to leave New York City life behind after discovering her now ex-fiancé having sex on a desk with one of her business partners. She ditches the wedding and her company, welcoming the chance to start fresh in Oregon. It’s certainly more remote than Evelyn expected, but the biggest surprise is Sawyer. Not only is he attractive, but he adores his little baby girl. It isn’t too long before Evelyn adjusts to living remotely, such as not finding her favorite ingredients, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, and catching the eye of her host. It’s clear that Evelyn and Sawyer are perfect for each other, but will they fall in love? Evelyn just had her heart broken by one man and Sawyer doesn’t believe in love after watching his father break the hearts of many women. 

It's apparent to readers when Evelyn and Sawyer meet that they are one step from falling in bed with each other. Of course, they will have to get to know one another, which is easy to do since they’re living under the same roof. The two weeks that Evelyn is there will give each a chance to see how it works out. After a few bumps, things are going smoothly for them in UNBRIDLED COWBOY. It is their feelings about love that has them treading carefully. Evelyn thought she had the perfect life in New York but now it’s down the drain. Sawyer’s baby mama didn’t want June Bug and he didn’t hesitate to claim his child. He now just needs a mother for her. 

UNBRIDLED COWBOY is the first book in the Four Corners Ranch series. The area where the ranch is located is remote, with several ranches bordering the one where Sawyer, his brother Hunter, and their sister Elsie ranch. The other ranch families are close and have formed an unincorporated town where they meet to discuss any local issues and to visit. It takes a little acclimation for Evelyn to get going but once she does, she soon has a few friends in the area. The attraction between Evelyn and Sawyer can’t be denied by either and they’re soon hitting the sheets. Does this mean the marriage is going to happen? 

If you love an enjoyable and heartwarming tale where you get to watch two people made for each other fall in love, then UNBRIDLED COWBOY is the perfect read. Be sure to grab a copy when it becomes available on May 24th.
