Cowboy Holiday Romance (Copper Ridge)

For a decade, Poppy Sinclair had secretly harbored feelings for her rancher boss, Isaiah Grayson. When the infuriatingly handsome, Stetson-wearing Isaiah enlisted Poppy's help in finding the perfect wife, she threatened to quit. However, Isaiah countered with an intriguing proposal: Why didn't she marry him? Could Poppy say yes to sharing his life and his bed, yet not his heart?

Poppy's boss, the rugged rancher Isaiah Grayson, was on the hunt for a suitable wife. Unbeknownst to him, his loyal employee Poppy had carried a torch for Isaiah for the past decade. As Isaiah's search for a convenient spouse intensified, Poppy found herself in a quandary. Should she reveal her long-buried feelings and risk losing her job, or remain silent and watch the man she loved wed another?

Tensions came to a head when Isaiah, in his characteristic Stetson and cowboy attire, approached Poppy with a request for her assistance. He needed help locating the ideal woman to be his wife. Poppy, unable to conceal her emotional turmoil, contemplated resigning. But Isaiah, sensing her distress, presented her with an unexpected proposition: Why not marry him herself?

Poppy's heart raced at the thought of becoming Isaiah's wife, yet she grappled with the implications. Could she truly be content with a marriage devoid of the deep, passionate love she craved? Would she be able to share Isaiah's life and his bed, while resigning herself to the fact that he might never reciprocate her feelings?

Yates's latest Copper Ridge contemporary novel, "Want Me, Cowboy," delves into the powerful emotions that challenge the practical, logical view of marriage. Publisher's Weekly praised the book, describing it as "heart-wrenching" in its exploration of the complexities surrounding Poppy and Isaiah's relationship.

As Poppy contemplated Isaiah's proposal, she found herself torn between the opportunity to be with the man she loved and the risk of having her heart broken. The decision before her was not an easy one, but it held the potential to change the course of her life forever.

In the end, Poppy's choice would determine whether she could find the courage to embrace the chance at happiness, even if it meant accepting a marriage without the all-encompassing love she had always dreamed of. The outcome of her decision would have profound implications, not only for her own future but also for the man who had captured her heart from the very beginning.
