Cowboy Casual (The Calloway Ranch Series) by Holly Renee

He’s never loved anyone but Blaire Monroe—and she’s the only one who’s ever shattered him. Ten years ago, she bolted from their small town and left behind the cowboy next door who was supposed to be her best friend… until “best friend” started feeling like something a whole lot more.

Now Blaire’s back, fresh off a broken engagement and hiding out on her grandmother’s falling-apart strawberry farm like she didn’t leave a crater in his chest. Like he hasn’t spent a decade trying (and failing) to scrape her out of his system. But Blaire isn’t forgettable—she’s wildfire: reckless, untamed, and guaranteed to burn anyone who gets too close.

The second they’re in the same room, it’s collision course. Too much history, too much heat, and nowhere near enough space. One look turns into a fight, a fight turns into a kiss, and suddenly they’re right back in the danger zone—hands, mouths, and hunger like the last ten years never happened.

He keeps telling himself he can do casual this time. Keep it controlled. Keep it clean. But the truth? This cowboy was never built for “just once”… and definitely not with her.
