Yummy Cowboy (Snowberry Springs Ranch Book 1)

"...wonderfully naughty and absolutely delicious..." - Reader review

Take one blonde, curvy, smart-mouthed celebrity chef. Mix with one tall, dark, dirty-talking blue-jeans cowboy. Sprinkle with a pinch of matchmaking grandma. Let simmer and serve with a steaming hot HEA.

Celebrity chef Summer Snowberry returns to Snowberry Springs to save the floundering Yummy Cowboy Diner. Secretly, she's determined to redeem herself from a humiliating setback in the big city by giving The Yummy Cowboy a complete makeover. If it succeeds, she'll be able to pay off her debts and make a fresh start in San Francisco. She's not only going to help revive the dying small town, but even better, she'll take on the diner's cocky, handsome owner, prove him wrong, and make his place the hottest eatery around.

Should be easy for a professional like Summer but from the very start, she's butting heads with her bull-headed nemesis. Even worse, she struggles to resist the sparks flying between them from each clash of wills.

Brock Michaels grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in Snowberry Springs. He's spent years working his butt off for his very own restaurant. He can't pass up the chance of a lifetime when his elderly business partner offers to turn over her share of The Yummy Cowboy Diner to him... if he agrees to work with her annoying but gorgeous granddaughter Summer for three months to revamp his operation.

Brock grits his teeth and tells himself that he can control his attraction to Summer's lush curves and foil her high-falutin' ideas for his homestyle diner. He's determined to come out on top when the ninety days are up. And he sure as heck isn't losing his heart to the woman who's declared that she's heading back to San Francisco soon. Right?

Yummy Cowboy is a standalone slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance with a guaranteed HEA. It's the first book in a new series about Snowberry Springs, a small Montana town on the brink of a great reawakening.
