Loving Her Cowboy Best Friend by Emmy Eugene

She’s a city girl returning to her hometown. He’s a country boy through and through. When these two former best friends (and ex-lovers) start working together, romantic sparks fly that could ignite a wildfire… Will Regina and Blake get burned or can they tame the flames into true love?
Regina Barlow never looked back after she left Chestnut Springs in her rear-view mirror. She likes living in a big city, and she’s not thrilled to be going back to the small town in the Texas Hill Country.
When Gina arrives at The Texas Longhorn Ranch as their new pastry chef, it’s not the first time she’s encountered this land or the cowboys who run it. Blake Stewart used to be her best friend…and then her boyfriend. You know, back before she left him and everyone in her family behind as she searched for “something better.”
Blake is nothing but thrilled to see Gina again despite how she left things between them last time. She wouldn’t be a Texas woman if his perfectly perched cowboy hat and good old country charm didn’t make her smile and her heartbeat flutter.
Blake Stewart isn’t the boy Gina remembers, and as they work together, he realizes she’s changed too. She loves her mama, makeup, and making cookies, and she’s smart as all get-out too. His feelings for her are startling and real, and he has no idea how to be “just friends” when he wants to be the man holding her hand and kissing her under the stars.
Will Blake be able to get out of the friend zone? Or will both he and Gina end up with a charred heart?
