Ethan, who once captivated Bethany during a book signing at her store, is now trading in his pen for a lasso at Redemption Ranch. His clumsy yet endearing attempts at cowboy life bring a spark of humor to Bethany's otherwise guarded existence. Despite the walls she's built around her heart, Ethan's genuine charm and determination to write an authentic cowboy story begin to break through.
However, Bethany's past holds a dark secret. Living under witness protection, she’s constantly looking over her shoulder. Just as she begins to trust Ethan and dream of a future where love is possible, her hidden identity is threatened.
With their lives now entangled, Ethan and Bethany navigate a treacherous path filled with unexpected challenges, where love and courage become their strongest allies. As danger looms and their bond deepens, Ethan’s unwavering support might be the key to Bethany's safety and their future together.
Corralling the Cowboy is a heartwarming and thrilling tale of love, humor, and resilience. Join Bethany and Ethan as they discover that sometimes, the greatest adventures come when you least expect them.

He isn't aware of all the things from her past that will get in the way and these two have much to overcome. The story grabbed my attention from the beginning and had me pulling for these two throughout. A really great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book danger vs real danger
Ethan was a writer temporarily living at Redemption Ridge to finish his current book. Bethany had been placed in the town as part of WITSEC so a romance between them seemed doomed. When Bethany's past finds her, Ethan had to live the type of danger he wrote about. A good clean read reminding us of the need to trust God.
