About Bucking Time

No woman wants a pity proposal.¿ Just because I'm turning forty, dealing with perimenopause, and recently dumped another loser doesn't mean I need rescuing-especially not by my best friend.¿ But when Dallas Gamble blurts out that we're engaged in a very public attempt at protecting me, there's not much I can do but play along. Bless his dumb, beautiful heart.¿ The man has always been impulsive. Protective. Flirty. And able to fill out a pair of Levi's like nobody's business. In no time at all, he slides a ring on my finger, moves me into his house, and swears it's no big deal. ¿ But then things get complicated.¿ Because suddenly, he's trying-as in, really trying.¿ And even though every clumsy romantic gesture ends in disaster, it's getting harder to pretend this isn't real. ¿ Dallas Gamble was never supposed to be my happily ever after. If we do this, I risk losing my best friend.¿ And if we don't... I might lose the great love story I've been chasing my whole life.¿ But I'm starting to think it's about bucking time we go for it.¿ About Bucking Time is a later-in-life cowboy romantic comedy between the town flirt and his veterinarian best friend. It comes complete with a weed-smoking Meemaw, a drunken marriage pact, a herd of nosy siblings, a runaway heifer, and no third-act breakup because our heroine refuses to play that game. Grand gestures-yes, plural-and one long-overdue happily ever after are guaranteed. No vintage romance novels were harmed in the making of this romcom, but they definitely inspired it.¿
