Corralling a Cowboy by Daisy Gold

Maggie
Taking the back roads from New York to California wasn’t my best idea, especially since I have trouble paying attention to the little things… like the needle on my fuel gauge.
Not surprisingly, I find myself out of gas and out of luck one night in Oklahoma.
But while help might have come faster on a major highway, it definitely wouldn’t have come from the biggest, hottest, hunkiest, grouchiest cowboy I’ve ever met.
When a short-term rescue turns into a longer-term cohabitation, I can’t help falling for Augustus. Even if he’s a big, old grouch to everyone else, he’s an angel to me—strong, protective, caring, and a lot older than I am.
But reaching California is a commitment I made to the one person who’s always loved me. How can I let her down now? I’ll have to leave Oklahoma. Even if it breaks my heart.

Augustus
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve let anyone into my life. But then, I’ve never met a woman like Maggie.
When I find her sleeping in her car by the side of the road, it takes all of two minutes to realize I’ve found a treasure. She bats her eyelashes in my direction, and the next thing I know, I’m inviting her into my home for the night. One night turns into two, and soon I’m hoping she’ll stay forever.
Maggie burns my bacon and spends more time asleep than anyone I’ve ever met, but she’s also courageous, smart, caring, and all kinds of curvy. She’s the Christmas present I never expected.
I know she can’t stay here in Oklahoma, but I’ll do anything in my power to keep her safe and protected wherever she goes.
