The Courageous Cowboy by Macie St. James

A mother’s dying wish gives six battling cousins a chance at family, forgiveness, and love.

Dax Threader returns to Weeping Willow for one purpose: revenge. He’s well-aware that his cousins have been looking for him. His is the last signature they need to finalize their restaurant’s ownership. But he’s never forgotten the way Jonah and Delta Lucas made him feel when his father was married to their mother. It’s why he moved away to live with his mother at the age of twelve and never looked back.
At first, Helena Hudson has no idea that Dax is a rodeo cowboy. She’s still recovering from losing her fireman husband in a tragic accident and has vowed to never love again. The last thing she plans to do is fall in love with a man with a dangerous career.
As family secrets begin to unfold, Dax begins to realize that he’s spent his years resenting something that was mostly in his head. But he’s also finding it increasingly hard to leave his hometown again…especially now that he’s found a woman who is giving him a good reason to stay.
