No woman wants a pity proposal.â©

Just because I'm turning forty, dealing with perimenopause, and recently dumped another loser doesn't mean I need rescuing-especially not by my best friend.â©

But when Dallas Gamble blurts out that we're engaged in a very public attempt at protecting me, there's not much I can do but play along. Bless his dumb, beautiful heart.â©

The man has always been impulsive. Protective. Flirty. And able to fill out a pair of Levi's like nobody's business. In no time at all, he slides a ring on my finger, moves me into his house, and swears it's no big deal. â©

But then things get complicated.â©

Because suddenly, he's trying-as in, really trying.â©

And even though every clumsy romantic gesture ends in disaster, it's getting harder to pretend this isn't real. â©

Dallas Gamble was never supposed to be my happily ever after. If we do this, I risk losing my best friend.â©

And if we don't... I might lose the great love story I've been chasing my whole life.â©

But I'm starting to think it's about bucking time we go for it.â©

About Bucking Time is a later-in-life cowboy romantic comedy between the town flirt and his veterinarian best friend. It comes complete with a weed-smoking Meemaw, a drunken marriage pact, a herd of nosy siblings, a runaway heifer, and no third-act breakup because our heroine refuses to play that game. Grand gestures-yes, plural-and one long-overdue happily ever after are guaranteed. No vintage romance novels were harmed in the making of this romcom, but they definitely inspired it.â©
