Midnight Chronicles #1
Dear Stetson, I Want You
Cove Davenport live laugh loves Miami nights. Known for its glittering skylines, palm tree aesthetic, and men who fortunately vanish by morning.
As a private flight attendant to the elite, she’s trained to keep things professional. Until him.
A last minute flight puts her working on Stetson Cole’s jet—a recluse Texas cattle rancher with calloused hands, an easy smile, and twenty years on her. One quick layover turns into stolen touches, tension filled kisses, and an unforgettable connection.
But love isn’t on Cove’s flight plan. When a family crisis forces her to accept her estranged father’s help, she’s stuck playing dutiful daughter and pretending to date his colleague’s son to seal a business deal.
The problem? She’s staying at the home of the one man she’s finding it difficult to resist. Her dad’s best friend, Stetson.
Resisting him was difficult at thirty thousand feet in the sky. On the ground? Nearly impossible.
But when secrets surface and lines start to blur, the Texas cowboy needs to decide if he’s willing to give up everything to make the Miami city girl his.

Review of advance copy
I went into this one side-eyeing the age gap a little bit, I won’t even lie. Like my brain was prepared to resist. To judge. 😭😭
That lasted… maybe five chapters.😭😭😭
Because somehow, somewhere between a private jet, stolen glances, and a steady pull of something deeper than just attraction, I completely folded. Fully. No dignity left.🙂↕️🙂↕️
Cove lives fast, light, untethered—Miami nights, no strings, no lingering. But then him. Stetson doesn’t chase in a loud way. He waits. He watches. He decides. And once he does? Oh, it’s over. 🫠
The tension, the hesitation, the way she kept one foot out the door even when her heart was clearly pacing inside his house. And what I loved loved about Cove is that she didn’t just fall at his feet. She made him work. Every inch. Every moment. Every piece of her trust.
And Stetson? That man showed upppp!!
Like okay!! 🤭🤭 There’s just something about a man who knows EXACTLY what he wants and doesn’t waver, but still gives her the space to choose him. It wasn’t forceful—it was inevitable. And the way he looked at her??? UGHHHH 😩
I ate it UPPPPPPPPP
And the chemistry??? Yeah no Indy knew exactly what she was doing here. 😭🤚🏼
LIKE HOLD UPPP The way I had to close the book for a second. 😭 Gather myself. Because it’s not just the spice—it’s the intention behind it. The way he balances reverence and desire. 👏🏼
Like??? I’m sorry??? Who allowed this man to speak like this??? And where can I find me one LOL 🤌🏼🤌🏼
And when everything finally comes together, when all the walls and doubts and complications settle into something steady and real it just felt so earned and right
And maybe that’s what this whole story felt like. Not just falling in love, but being chosen in a way that feels solid and unwavering and all consuming in the best way. 🥹🥹
I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did. Truly. But somewhere along the way, I got completely wrapped up in them—the push and pull, the longing, the way he never stopped reaching for her even when it hurt.
And now I’m just sitting here, lowkey grieving that it’s over… 😭 but also already excited for what’s next
(Betsy I’m looking directly at you girly pop 👀).
→ I also can’t pass up the opportunity to highlight Cove’s relationship with her mom, which completely grounded the story in something real and tender and a little bit devastating.
I had to pause after that. Just sit there for a second. Because that kind of love? That kind of sacrifice and devotion? It lingers. And truly… shoutout to every single mom who’s ever had to carry everything on her own. That kind of strength deserves to be seen. 🫂🥹🥺

No. I want Stetson.
Cause dear god that man.
“Old cowboy” my a** cause he was 🔥
This was refreshing and new and I dug the vibes.
Cove, our fiercely independent Miami flight attendant
Stetson, our millionaire ranch owner
She’s 30. He’s 50.
Dad’s best friend…
Honestly both these people were great.
A true opposites attract.
But they worked.
And man did Stetson put in the work.
I feel like I could’ve highlighted most of this book.
I am an Indy Valentine fan.

Indy Valentine has done it again! The way I loved this book y’all! Another well deserved⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. This one had me obsessing and swooning even more than collie! I just love how her writing just captivates you and doesn’t let go!
I absolutely loved this story! The emotional depth of Cove and Stetson’s connection and love was beautiful! Cove was a powerhouse of a woman, such a badass and I just loved her! She was the definition of a city girl. Daddy Stet dear lord that man was😮💨He was a country cowboy from Texas down bad for her. Their banter and chemistry was so damn good!
Cove is a flight attendant from Miami and on a last minute work trip she meets Stetson Cole. A quick layover turns into an unforgettable connection. When a family crisis forces her to accept her estranged father’s help, she’s stuck fake dating his colleagues son. The problem? They’re staying at the home of the one man she’s finding it impossible to resist. Her dad’s best friend.
This is her first book in her new series! Add this to your tbr immediately! It’s so freaking good! It releases on 3/25! Thank you to Indy for allowing me to be on her team and arc read this early💜 I can’t wait for Betsy’s story in book two!

This follows Cove, a flight attendant who would do anything for her mother. It’s always been the two of them against the world. But disaster strikes her childhood home, she’s determined to help rebuild, no matter the cost. That’s when she meets Stetson, a millionaire rancher who’s hardworking, grounded, and ready to settle down with someone by his side.
I just love Indy’s writing. The character depth is always there, paired with a tense, emotional, and heartwarming storyline.
Cove is very guarded when it comes to men. She’s used to getting what she needs and walking away, with her past and daddy issues shaping her struggles with trust and commitment. She’s a strong, feisty character who clearly longs for a kind of love she’s never truly experienced. Watching that start to shift when she meets Stetson was so satisfying.
Stetson is the kind of man who worships the ground she walks on mature, protective, a little possessive, but ultimately so full of love for a woman who truly deserves it. I loved their chemistry and the way their connection developed. Those intimate moments, especially the little notes, absolutely melted my romantic heart.
The sneaking around the ranch added such a fun layer of tension. The spice was fantastic there’s just something about a dirty talking cowboy that hits. But when she matches that same energy? It makes it even better.
Im looking forward to reading Betsy’s story next!

Ya'll....grab your cowboy hat(and an extra pair of underwear. youll need em) AND BUCKLE TF UP. holy MOLY. That was hot hot hot. like cover your kindle screen in public blushing kind of hot and that doesnt happen often...
Cove had me barking like a dog. She was such a powerhouse of a woman. Badass, smart and HOT. Crush me with her stilettos and a thank you will slip out. A flight attendant? YES MA'AM!! We love Cove. With a sweetest heart, helping her mom keep her dream alive had my heart warming🥹
Meeting a man thousands of feet in the air wasnt on her bingo card. But Daddy Stet the cowboy from Texas had her HOOKED. A quick chat at a layover had these two instantly connecting and I was there for it🙂↕️
Incoming Coves father dearest(sideeye to the max). Wanting to help her mom, she turns to her estranged father for help, which leads her to fake date someone to make things "even". If you needed a 50 year old getting jealous... Stetson is your man. The tension? the yearning? the DEATH GLARES?! IM DROOLING. The forced proximity having to stay near eachother was 😚🤌 oh....and daddy's bestfriend. BINGO BABYYYY.
I love a Forbidden romance. I love an age gap. I love a city girl × cowboy. You put them all together its a guaranteed damn good time😛
The push and pull between these two were everything. Stetson knew he wanted his forever girl, and convincing her hes the one only made it hotter.
Indy, I love you for writing these two. This was a masterpiece🤠😌 YEEHAW BABY.
thank you indy for the earc🫂

4.5⭐️: Stetson Cole was an absolute vibe!! He was confident and just full of SWAG 😮💨 and it was sexy AF. Stet was absolute perfection 😍😍😍. And the mouth on that man?! Complete filth 🥵🥵🥵. I loved Cove’s independence and confidence but she was frustrating as hell in the first half. There’s nothing I hate more than miscommunication or non-communication in this case. Like why?! Thankfully things turned around. There was no third act break up but certainly a very frustrating second act. Be sure to power through! In any case, I ate this book up in 24hrs. Really great start to this new series!

This is the first book in Indy’s new series and I had the honor of beta reading it. The concept of the book is so fresh and fun I had the best time.
Stetsons character was absolutely delicious. Older, possessive af, billionaire andddd a cowboy… sign me tf up immediately. Cove is a powerhouse fmc and I loved her energy. The tension between Cove & Stenson was palpable. You could feel it coming off the page.
There’s a part in this book where Stet could’ve swooped into save Cove, but he stepped back to let her save her self. I thought it was so powerful & exactly the type of support she needed. I love it when the man is able to support a fierce woman & he did just that.
I’m so grateful to be a part of your team Indy! I hope people love Cove & Stet as much as I do🤎

I was so intrigued by this book when I read the blurb and the tropes. Love me an age gap romance. Plus it was a cowboy romance!! I thought I would have ate this up but unfortunately it was just okay for me. Seems like I have an unpopular opinion after looking at the reviews.
Some of the things Stetson said or the way he operated gave me the ick. He seems too perfect, if that makes sense. Felt like they said ‘I love you’ too quickly after only seeing each other a handful of times. Like I felt the sexual attraction but that’s it. Her humping a loofah sounds itchy???
She kept making choices I couldn’t begin to understand. Her lying about everything felt so unnecessary, that man was clearly whipped from day one and would have understood/helped. Could’ve avoided all that drama. Showing up to his ranch knowing it was his ranch after ignoring him for weeks was CRAZY WORK. Her dad was absolutely the worst and her finally standing up to him was so lackluster. And then she ran off without saying anything to Stetson? I was so done we her by then. Ready for the story to be over.
Glad in the end they all got there happily ever after. Especially her and her mom!

Spice: 3/5
Cove Davenport - Age 30
Flight Attendant (charted flights)
Stetson Cole - Age 50
Millionaire / Bachelor Rancher
These two lit up the pages. The spice was hot but it’s more about the connection between them. There is so much depth to their story.
Great supporting cast of characters. Minus the douche canoe that is Nathaniel.
He called her “my love”. He didn’t try to change her, he wanted her just as she was and he was all in on the importance of the relationship with her mother.
She went from dating players that couldn’t find the anatomy to a man that had it all mapped out and put her first. He had the money to make her life easier but respected the fact that the emotional support was more important to her than his money.
Highly Recommend.
This is my first introduction to Indy Valentine. I’m hooked. Just purchased her MLB series.

This was my first book by Indy Valentine and like why though? I absolutely ADORED this book, and Stetson, I want you, too. And Cove as well, please 💕
I loved everything about this book. 5 stars for the vibes alone! Indy's writing style was fresh and exciting. It just flowed and made it so easy to read. I've been in the biggest slump, and this took me right out of it!! I loved the banter, the setting, the YEARNING - everything about this book just made it such a JOY to read.
Stetson and Cove though - older MCs who know what they want and there's just no pussy footing around. Their chemistry was insane and the yearning. Like show me two other characters who are obsessed with each other who will do what it takes to make it work? Loved everything about them and that cowboy can GET ITTTTTT!!
Love, and highly recommend! Thank you to Indy and Luna Literary Management for the early arc.. yes I'm late with a review but SUE ME! Read this, babes. You won't regret it!

I've been in the biggest slump, and this took me right out of it!! I loved the banter, the setting, the YEARNING - everything about this book just made it such a JOY to read.
Stetson and Cove though - older MCs who know what they want and there's just no pussy footing around. Their chemistry was insane and the yearning. Like show me two other characters who are obsessed with each other who will do what it takes to make it work? Loved everything about them and that cowboy can GET ITTTTTT!!

You had me at cowboy millionaire 😮💨 This was such a unique story and the perfect way to kick off Indy’s new series.
Cove is a badass flight attendant that isn’t looking for a relationship. That is until Stetson Cole walks into her life and stirs everything up. He is the swoony, older cowboy that will stop at nothing to make Cove his.
Their chemistry is hot and they have the best banter!! Stetson is the epitome of “if he wanted to he would” and he was so patient with Cove. He loved her independence and didn’t try to change her, which allowed her to feel safe with him and be vulnerable.

Stetson Cole- what a hunk of a mature man! This man meets Cove Davenport on his private jet, she’s an elite flight attendant covering for one of his regular staff and he’s immediately taken with her.. she’s feisty and beautiful and although he knows she’s a lot younger than him he can’t help but be intrigued with her. Stetson is so intrigued he just so happens to pursue her, to the bar at their layover, to then maybe or maybe not crash a double date she goes on- oh and he turns up in Chicago to just spend time with her!
Now. Cove bless her heart, she’s not easily convinced… let’s just say she’s got some Daddy issues… she doesn’t do relationships and is more than happy to just spend a night with someone and move on- let me tell you the first paragraph in this book had me howling!
But Stetson persists and his hard work pays off because Cove realises that he’s not like all the other entitled men she serves on flights. He cares, deeply. He’s invested in learning about her and getting to know her on a deeper level. This man was a whole lot of big, hot, older, cowboy- swoon dog energy! And he happens to be turning the big 5 0… and Cove and Stetson are reunited due to a link between them and her father- who by the way is the biggest piece of trash you won’t want to meet!
The chemistry between these two is fire, and swoony Stetson knows he has to keep communication open if he wants to win Cove’s heart which he does in the sweetest possible way, which gives Cove hop that he’s the real deal- which indeed he is! The care he puts in to making her feel seen is incredible, such a great read.

✨ARC REVIEW✨ 4⭐️ Oh Stetson Cole…Cove is a private flight attendant living in Miami. She deals with wealthy men all the time but ever since her father walked out on her and her mom she’s never liked any of the men she flew with. That is until Stetson Cole entered the picture. This millionaire cowboy from Texas might just be the one to break the mold for Cove. He might have money but he sure doesn’t act like any of those other men. He’s instantly taken with Cove and knows there’s something different about her. He wants to get to know her more but Cove is hesitant. She’s trying to help her mom hold on to the one thing that’s alway been hers…their childhood house…and making a deal with the Devil may just ruin any chance her and Stetson have of discovering just how good they could be together.
This was such a fun storyline and so different than anything I’ve read recently! I really enjoyed watching Stetson fall for Cove and how instantly he was taken with her. Cove’s dad made me so angry and my heart hurt for everything she had to go through all because she just wanted to help her mom. She’s such a selfless person and I loved that she was so adamant about making sure her mom got everything she needed since she stepped in and did whatever she needed to do when Cove was a child. Stetson sticking up for Cove and the week on his ranch…OH MAN I LOVE HIM! Stetson made my heart so happy with the way he treated her and her mom!! Definitely worth the read!!

Huge thank you to Indy Valentine and Luna Literary for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
Dear Stetson, I Want You had me in a chokehold... like I am surprised there is not indents on my throat from how much of a chokehold this book had me in. Like HOLY freaking angst that had me on the edge of my seat. Indy Valentine wrote an engaging plot that had me hooked within the first chapter and my attention never wavered. This was completely unique and felt like a breath of fresh air. Indy continues to amaze me and become an author I would not even question.. like she writes it? I am going to read it no questions asked.
Stetson, I want you too!! I loved everything about him. He was strong, determined and extremely caring. The way he just supported and cared for Cove from the start just had me swooning! I don't care that he is 50, he is the man for me!
Cove is such a bad ass. She is spunky, smart, independent and I have a girl crush AF. She genuinely felt like such a raw and real character.. I just loved her and felt for her immensely.
Stetson and Cove together though?? I will never recover. They had a connection that was undeniable and their chemistry was perfection. The banter between them had me literally kicking my feet. Indy just outdid herself with them.
Cove's dad can eat a bag of dicks. I said what I said and I'm sticking to it.
Would I suggest this to a friend? Hell yeah! Would I reread? OH certainly! Would I carry on with the series? Yep! Would I like a trophy? Yes!

Dear Stetson, I Want You by Indy Valentine was my first dad’s best friend romance. I’m usually not a fan of age-gap relationships, especially when the love interest is the father’s friend, since it can feel a little awkward. However, this book ended up being an exception for me.
Stetson is a 50-year-old who has just made the Forbes Most Eligible Bachelors list. While flying on his private jet, his flight attendant, Cove, quickly captures his attention. She’s strong-willed and doesn’t take anything from anyone. When her mother faces financial hardship, Cove reaches out to the one person she can’t stand for help, which leads her into a very unexpected situation.
This was an easy, fast-paced read, and if you don’t mind a quicker-developing relationship, I would recommend it. I gave this book ⭐️4/5⭐️ because it kept me entertained, and I was invested in seeing how Cove and Stetson’s relationship would play out.
There were a few moments that felt a bit unrealistic to me, like the lake scene. With how many people were around and how closely they were being watched, it was hard to believe they wouldn’t get caught. That said, even during the more tense moments at the farm, I could really feel Stetson’s longing for Cove. I actually felt for him and the internal struggle he went through while watching her with someone else.
Thank you to Luna Literary and Indy Valentine for the opportunity to read an ARC. I’m really looking forward to Betsy’s story in book two!

ARC Review
Dear Stetson, I Want You
Dad's Best Friend
Age Gap
Cowboy Romance
Sex in the City meets Miami
"I'd chase you through every clearwater beach off the coast of Florida until I found you."
Cove Davenport works hard and plays harder. After watching her mother struggle after her father walked out, Cove is determined to never depend on a man.
Stetson Cole has built an empire; the Texas cowboy is worth millions but enjoys the quiet life on his ranch.
A layover and a ripped skirt brings Cove face to face with the man that stirs feelings she never experienced. Sparks fly and one almost moment is all it takes, Stetson will stop at nothing to make her his.
This damn book was so good y’all!
Stetson Cole is a total dreamboat. Power and control meet a man down BAD and I am OBSESSED. Mix in dad’s best friend, a 20-year age gap, and some family drama... Indy did not miss with this one. The balance of emotion and spice was perfect. I could not get enough of Stet and Cove.
Dear Stetson, I love you.
Huge thanks to Indy Valentine for the gifted copy and allowing me to read this title early!

I was obsessed with this book!! What a perfect beginning to this new series. I want Stetson too 🤭
Absolutely fell in love with Cove & Stetson. This one gave me so much that just had me swooning and feeling all the things. We love a good cowboy romance, but make it age gap and dad’s best friend & man do things heat up!!
I loved getting to see the strength, heart, and independence Cove showed. Stetson was a perfect MMC & I loved how he was ready to step in and have her back in everything! He was swoony and the mouth on this man!! Absolutely sucked in by their chemistry!!
Once the turn of events hit on this one, I was buckled in and couldn’t put this down! High stakes, banter, chemistry, and absolute spice perfection!
Thank you Indy for delivering us this masterpiece of a book!! I am so ready for what’s to come 😅🙌🏻

Thank you to Indy Valentine and Luna Literary Management for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book had a lot of potential, but unfortunately there were some shortcomings in the execution.
The bones of the plot are solid, and the chemistry between Cove and Stetson is hot, but there were inconsistencies in the details, and the characters’ actions didn’t always align with who we knew them to be. The book felt rushed, and some of the prose and dialogue came across as overwrought and overly verbose. For a 350-page book, I feel like there was plenty of opportunity to flesh these characters out and build up their story, but everything moved so quickly—it honestly felt like whiplash.
While I enjoyed the premise, I couldn’t overlook these issues. They pulled me out of the story, which is a bummer. With a bit more time and editing, I think this could have easily been a 4 star read, but as it stands, I have to give it 2.75 stars.
Despite this rating, I’m still looking forward to reading Indy’s other book, Collie, soon.

This is my first book of Indy’s and I enjoyed it!
I was unsure of the large age gap but I ended up forgetting about it because Stetson was top tier MMC vibes.
Cove is a strong, badass woman who doesn’t allow any man to get close her but the minute she’s in Stetson’s atmosphere the sparks were flying.
I loved how much Stetson poured his soul into Cove with his words - spoke and written - I wanted more letters!
Cove allowing Stetson to break down her walls was beautiful! She deserved a man like him!
Her estranged father was the worst of the worst. I could do without him in the book world 😂 but it was important to the story for sure.
Thanks Luna Literary for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

It is the week of down bad men and I am living for it!!!!! This book was so good I can’t stand it! I’m obsessed with Stetson and want to know where I can find a man like him of my own! 😜 This man knows what he wants and is willing to keep on keeping on until everything aligns and he finally gets his girl and nothing and no one will stop that! Now my girl Cove, she is a total boss! Her and her tribe are all the vibes and I’m living for it! Also I absolutely adored that these two were older , it felt nice to see people slightly closer to my state in life! Loved it, so freaking good! Thank you Luna for the ARC!

DNF @ 60%. Started off strong but fell apart fairly quickly. The author uses confusing phrases and too many words. At times, I had to reread a sentence multiple times because the shit just didn't make sense.
Also, the first spicy scene took them from wholesome romance vibes to pure porn in a way that was out of the blue and completely unsexy. And while the hero, Stetson, had promise, I could feel virtually no emotion or depth from the heroine. In fact, she read as vapid and man hating, and ugh, I just didn't like her.
And then the book REALLY shit the bed utilizing an entirely unbelievable plot device to force jealousy and tension, requiring the heroine to do something nobody would ever do. I just couldn't take it at that point. Like throwing good minutes after bad.
Just no.

Stetson and Cove are what age gap romances are made of! Cowboy meets city girl perfection. I enjoyed this book every step of the way. What I loved the most was the communication between the two. That as closed off as Cove could be, she always communicated her feelings to "Stet" and he communicated right back! In the form of love notes.
I highly recommend this if you love a small town meets big city romance. If you love a cowboy millionare, a strong independent FMC, and a man that dominates in the bedroom and cleans her up after, this is the book for you!

Dear Stetson, I Want You by Indy Valentine eARC Review ✈️🩷
Okay, Indy absolutely came to play with this new series. What a unique and fun love story, Dear Stetson…I really do want you! 🤭
Cove is such a badass and strong FMC, her sass and boss babe energy is truly electric. Stetson Cole. That could honestly be my review because I am truly obsessed with this man. Cove is over men her age and their immature ways. Stetson knocks her off her feet and even though she tries to fight there connection, Stetson is up for the challenge.
This story and plot in this book is so unique and such a nice change of pace. I loved the added conflict plot twists that Indy incorporated and it made the story completely addicting. The spice is chefs kiss as well, cowboy Stetson has a filthy mouth and I am here for it. 😮💨

First I’d love to thank Indy for an arc of this book. I was intrigued when I saw the description/tropes.
I won’t lie when I say I’m not huge on age gap especially 20 years, but I did enjoy this. They did seem to mesh well and I love that. My favorite quote from the whole book “that’s my cup and my pup”
While I really enjoyed aspects of this book I do feel that the drama was a bit much. The billionaire father, some of the comments he made were just too much for me. I also feel like there were many things in many directions. Not necessarily a bad thing and it tied up well, I just would have liked a little more of certain parts.
Again thank you so much for the early read!

I had the BEST time with Dear Stetson, I Want You and I’m not even a little bit over these two 😵🔥 Cove and Stetson had me hooked from the start, their chemistry was immediate and just kept building in a way that had me fully locked in. Cove is strong and independent, always says-exactly-what-she’s-thinking kind of FMC and I loved how she never backed down or made herself smaller for anyone. But getting to see those softer layers of her come out with Stetson?? I was MELTING. And Stetson… this man. Protective, persistent, a little possessive in that way that just works, and so completely gone for her. The way he pursued her and showed up for her had me kicking my feet the entire time.
The tension, the banter, the sneaking around, the little moments that turned into big feelings… it all just hit. And yes the spice was SPICING, but what really got me was how much heart was underneath it all. Watching Cove slowly let her guard down and actually believe in something real while Stetson just kept proving he was all in for her?? I loved every second. This was messy, hot, emotional, and completely addictive and I already need more from this world immediately 🫶🏻✨
