She's off-limits, but he's never been good at following the rules . . .
'A sweet slow burn . . . sunshine in written form' - Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author
For the first time in her life, Clementine 'Emmy' Ryder has no idea what she's doing. She's accomplished everything on her to-do list. She left her small hometown of Meadowlark, Wyoming, went to college, and made a career for herself by doing her favorite thing: riding horses. But after an accident makes it impossible for her to get back into the saddle, she has no choice but to return to the hometown she always wanted to escape.
Luke Brooks is Meadowlark's most notorious bad boy, bar owner, and bachelor. He's also the unofficial fifth member of the Ryder family. As Emmy's older brother's best friend, Luke spent most of his childhood antagonizing her. It's been years since he's seen her, but when she walks into his bar and back into his life, he can't take his eyes off her. Against his better judgment, he wants to do a whole lot more than just look at her.
As things between Emmy and Brooks heat up, it gets more difficult for him to keep his hands off of her. Can he help her get her spark back? Or will they both go up in flames?

Reviews / Votes
A sweet, slow burn that feels like sunshine in written form * Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of Under Loch & Key * This steamy read delves into the world of forbidden love set in a small hometown. With plenty of tension and heat, this book will definitely keep you up at night * Wide Open Country, 'The 20 Best Books of 2023, according to BookTok' * It's hot, it's desperate, it's dirty while simultaneously being sweet - my favourite kind of smut * Stylist * Wrapped me up in a welcoming embrace and never let me go. I'd give anything to stay in Meadowlark with Wes and Ada * Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out of the Woods, on Swift and Saddled * Lyla Sage came galloping into the romance genre with enough wit, soul and spice to launch a thousand happily ever afters. Wild and Wrangled is no exception. As perfect a second chance romance and yearning-palooza that has ever existed. The Rebel Blue Ranch Series is a must read * No.1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey on Wild and Wrangled * A beautiful, comforting, and wildly satisfying end to our beloved Rebel Blue! This book is as tender as it gets while also serving up the hottest, down bad cowboy I've ever read! * Sarah Adams, New York Times bestselling author of Beg, Borrow, or Steal, on Wild and Wrangled * Wild and Wrangled is as sweet, achy, and sexy as we've come to expect from Lyla Sage. Dusty and Cam make my heart hurt and my skin tingle. This is absolutely my favorite of the Rebel Blue Ranch series! * Julie Soto, USA Today bestselling author of Not Another Love Song, on Wild and Wrangled * Dusty and Cam's story shines with what I love so much about Lyla Sage's world: It's comforting and soft, filled with hot cowboys (important), and it serves as a reminder that home will always be there waiting for you when you're ready to go back * Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows, on Wild and Wrangled * A swoon-worthy, show-stopping conclusion to the Rebel Blue series. Lyla Sage truly shines with Dusty and Cam's story, flawlessly weaving fun flirtation with aching tenderness . . . Tattoo this book on my body like Dusty's ink, please * B.K. Borison, USA Today bestselling author of First Time Caller, on Wild and Wrangled * The romance genre at its finest! Cam and Dusty's chemistry leaps off the page, and their second chance romance melted my heart * Falon Ballard, author of Right on Cue, on Wild and Wrangled * Deeply sweet, charmingly funny, and the perfect amount of sexy . . . the atmospheric, romantic rides of my dreams that I'll gladly return to again and again * Tarah DeWitt, author of Savor It, on Swift and Saddled * Tender, swoonworthy, and achingly ro-mantic . . . I disappeared into the pages and never wanted to leave * B.K. Borison, USA Today bestselling author of First Time Caller, on Swift and Saddled * Deliciously addictive . . . The banter is explosive, the chemistry is electric, and the journey is as sizzling as it is emotional and vulnerable. Simply perfection. I'm down bad for the Rebel Blue Ranch series and anything Lyla Sage will give us * Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Fiance Dilemma, on Lost and Lassoed * Teddy and Gus are spicy, sizzling, enemies-to-lovers perfection! I loved every moment of their feisty banter, their steamy sexual tension, and their touching emotional journey * Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of Once Smitten, Twice Shy, on Lost and Lassoed * Delicious tension, heartwarming vulnerability, characters you can't help but root for, and more simmering heat than a Rebel Blue summer sun. Teddy and Gus are what off-limits, opposites-attract romance dreams are made of * B.K. Borison, USA Today bestselling author of First Time Caller, on Lost and Lassoed * Lyla Sage delivers another scalding hot romance; this one is also a tender rumination on fathers and daughters, and the love that makes a family. Lost & Lassoed burrowed deep into my heart, and I know it's going to stay there for a good long time * Kate Stayman-London, bestselling author of Fang Fiction, on Lost and Lassoed *More details
