Some hearts can never be tamed. A small-town YA cowboy romance with a British twist. Perfect for fans of My Life with the Walter Boys on Netflix.

Heartbroken dressage rider Tabby needs to escape Sussex fast, so she flees to her estranged father's Texas ranch.

Rodeo star Levi, born and bred on cattle ranching, has no time for tourists playing cowgirl. When he and Tabby team up to save a dangerously untameable horse, he's forced to rethink everything.

But as they fall head-over-boots for each other, Levi is terrified of losing her.

Will Tabby return to her old life, or embrace her wild side?

Saddle up for a small-town YA cowboy romance on a wild Texas ranch.

🐎 Swoonworthy sports romance
🤠 British girl meets all-American cowboy
