Saddle Up Desire: Friendship Was Safe, Until Longing Rode Back Into Town

Jess once believed her friendship with Lila was the one thing she could count on steady, untouchable, hers to keep. But when Lila left town without a word, Jess buried the sting and threw herself into the ranch.

Now Lila’s back. Older, sharper, and harder to ignore. Every smile feels loaded, every brush of her hand lights something Jess thought she’d put away for good. Working side by side on the land they once claimed together, the bond between them rekindles raw, intense, impossible to push aside.

But friendship won’t hold forever. Jess battles the fear of losing Lila again, while Lila, this time, refuses to run. She’s ready to prove that what simmers between them is more than memory, more than risk. Their past is tangled with regret, but every moment now pulls them closer to a future neither dares name aloud.

Beneath the small-town gaze and the wide Western sky, they face the truth: safety was never enough.

Will Jess take the chance she’s always wanted or let fear ride off with it again?

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?
