And this time?
He’s not sure he wants to.

As someone born and raised in New Jersey, I never expected to find myself writing cowboy romances—but once I discovered the incredible ranching culture right here in my home state, I was hooked. The Dry Creek Cowboys series blends contemporary romance, danger, family, and a little bit of that rugged cowboy magic I fell in love with.
And Benji might just be my favorite cowboy yet.
