Cowboy Pitfall
When Isabella inherits her grandmother’s inn, she uncovers a deadly conspiracy in Misty Hollow—and a killer who will do anything to silence her.
She thought ghosts were her biggest worry—until living enemies proved far more dangerous.
When Isabella Harper returns to Misty Hollow to inherit her grandmother’s cherished bed-and-breakfast, the Willow Ridge Inn, she dreams of peace and a new beginning. But her world shatters when she discovers her grandmother didn’t die naturally—she may have been murdered.
As whispers of foul play spread, Isabella uncovers a decades-old conspiracy her grandmother had been investigating before her death. At the center of it all is a powerful real estate developer, eager to turn Misty Hollow into a luxury resort—with the inn standing defiantly in the way. But deeper still are secrets tied to a long-forgotten murder involving the town’s most powerful families, including the mayor’s.
When a suspicious accident nearly takes Isabella’s life, she reluctantly joins forces with Deacon Simpson, a rugged cowboy determined to protect her for reasons of his own. Together, they navigate a treacherous maze of corruption, greed, betrayal, and buried crimes, where every clue brings them closer to exposing the truth—and every step makes Isabella a bigger target.
With danger closing in and the town’s darkest secrets at stake, Isabella must summon the courage to fight back before she loses everything—including her life.
Cowboy Pitfall is a pulse-pounding romantic suspense filled with small-town intrigue, dangerous secrets, Western grit, and heart-stopping romance—perfect for fans of Kat Martin, B.J. Daniels, and Lisa Jackson.
