Gifting the Cowboy

Brynnlee

The gorgeous cowboy I’m secretly crushing on is now my temporary roommate and soon-to-be brother-in-law of my best friend. His strong, comforting presence in my life is something I didn’t know I was missing until he moved in a month ago.

Fate keeps bringing us together, first with planning my best friend's and his brother’s Christmas Eve wedding, which they can’t find time to help organize, too wrapped up in each other to focus on anything else, then with an accidental electrical fire in his cabin that makes him my temporary roommate. Finally, there's the mail-order bride service with a Christmas tree dating exchange, leading me to steal his dating profile off the tree, leaving me head over heels for a cowboy who treats me more like a friend than the girlfriend I want to be.

My curvy temporary roommate has me tied in knots, and not the good kind that I’d like to experiment with on her. No, the kind of knots that make me crave being around her every chance I can.

After spending my life on the family ranch, I’m more comfortable talking to horses than to a beautiful, curvy woman with a smile that lights up the room and a sense of humor that matches mine. I promised myself that once we're no longer roommates, I’ll make my move and tell her how I feel. Until then, I’ll cherish every moment we share as friends in case that’s all she wants from me.
