Sanaa Ryan isn’t used to slowing down. Not in Dallas, not in life, and definitely not when her world is still tangled with the ex who shares her business—and the house she fought to keep.

So when a temporary nanny placement takes her to the heart of Texas Hill Country, it feels like the break she didn’t know she needed. What she doesn’t expect is Luke Dawson.

A quiet, brooding cowboy with a baby girl who instantly steals her heart… and a slower rhythm of life she never knew she was missing.

Luke isn’t exactly thrilled when a woman in designer heels shows up on his porch offering help. But Charlie clings to her like sunshine. And somehow, Sanaa begins to turn his carefully guarded world inside out.

She’s not what he expected. And somehow, she’s exactly what he needed.

What begins as a temporary arrangement starts to feel a lot like home. But falling in love wasn’t part of the plan—and neither of them are sure how to ask the other to stay.

Because love doesn’t always look like a grand gesture. Sometimes, it looks like staying when it’s easier to leave.

Falling for the Grumpy Cowboy is a sweet, small-town romance with a grumpy cowboy, a baby who steals the show, and just enough sizzle to make you swoon—while keeping the bedroom door politely shut.
