Sixteen-year-old Winn Riley is a New York City girl who never expected her next adventure to involve a remote Montana ranch, a school full of boys, and far too many reasons to rethink her plans for the future. When her family relocates to Green Fire Ranch, Winn finds herself navigating unfamiliar country life while surrounded by charming, intelligent cowboys who make staying focused on school considerably more complicated.

The Vibe

Smart, funny, and unmistakably Meg Cabot, Kissing Cowboys brings a sharp-witted heroine to a setting filled with wide-open skies, ranch life, and plenty of romantic possibility. Winn is independent, observant, fashion-conscious, and fascinated by true crime, making her a wonderfully distinctive voice for this fresh YA romance.

Green Fire Ranch is both school and working ranch, creating the perfect backdrop for a fish-out-of-water story. For a girl accustomed to New York City, Montana offers horses, cattle, country traditions, and a whole new social world to navigate.

And then there are the boys. Zack and Teddy each bring a very different kind of energy into Winn's life, creating a sweet, playful romantic tension that keeps her wondering whether she can really avoid catching feelings. With witty banter, first kisses, friendship, family, and the uncertainty of growing up, this is a lighthearted romance with plenty of heart.

Fans of Meg Cabot's signature YA style will find the same humor, personality, and wonderfully candid teenage perspective that made her earlier heroines so beloved. The result is a charming, low-spice romance about stepping outside your comfort zone and discovering that the life you never expected might be exactly what you needed.
