The Cowboy’s Love Bet: A Clean Bet-Turns-Real Cowboy Romance on a Texas Ranch

Caleb Stone bet his brothers he'd be the last bachelor standing. Then Sarah Mathews walked into his sister-in-law's veterinary clinic.

Sarah came to Colt, Texas to stop being the girl who always picked wrong. She had a list of men she was never going to date again — and Caleb was every one of them in a cowboy hat.

So they made a deal. Companionship only. No feelings. No future. No one had to know.

Except Caleb keeps showing up. Quietly dismantling every wall she's built. Falling for the only woman who ever made him want a forever — and too scared to admit it to his brothers, because admitting it means he was wrong about everything.

When his sister-in-law lets the bet slip, Sarah realizes the man she's been falling for has been keeping her a secret to win a game.

She walks away.

Who's the winner — the brother who keeps the money, or the one who finally figured out what he was really afraid of losing?
