A Cowboy and his Neighbor by Mila Sweet

She’s a down-to-earth beautician that likes to get her hands dirty in her free time. He’s a reliable machinist hurt by a past love. Can one surprising kiss between two neighbors guide them to a life of love?

Abby:
As a beautician in a small farm town, I spend my days dressing up and chatting with my posh customers. But after work is when the real fun begins. I spend my free time at my neighbor’s ranch helping out with the animals and getting my hands dirty. Still living on my parent’s property at my age wasn’t in my plans, but they won’t let me leave until I’m married.
Luckily I can see the positive in my situation and am saving my money for a house anyway.
When my best friend machinist from next door needs me, I meld us together.
Beau is handsome, good-hearted, and fixes my heart.
But should I be risking our solid friendship for a deeper relationship?

Beau:
Ever since my ex-fiancé ditched me before our wedding, I’ve been doing everything I can to stay busy at work and not think about it. My job as a machinist on the family ranch allows me to have time by myself without having to make small talk with anyone. But I’ll admit it can get lonely at times.
Fortunately, the company I keep is good enough for me and I don’t need anyone else.
When my lovely neighbor kisses me, I like the way we look together.
Abby is warm, sociable, and compliments me well.

But can I prove to her that our love is worth it?
Will Beau and Abby’s friendship get the tune-up they need to grow into something more? Or are these two destined to stay in the “friend zone” forever?
