Near Misses & Cowboy Kisses

by Katrina Emmel

Book Overview

A swoon-worthy YA rivals-to-lovers romance between a Nebraskan cowboy and California girl, thrust together on the Oregon Trail.

Anything's possible under a prairie sky...

Riley Thomas is feeling stuck--she's moved from California to Nebraska, she's on a weeklong Oregon Trail family bonding excursion, and her luggage is lost. There's no one her age on the trip except a tall, dark and irksome cowboy who wrongly assumes she has zero ability to handle the great outdoors. She can't wait for this misery to end--even though going "home" isn't even possible anymore.

Lone wolf Colton Walker loves the simpler life of the plains and his family's tourism business that helps protect them. He's a stand-up guy--not a love 'em and leave 'em type like his rival, Jake. And he knows better than to take his chances with a prairie princess like Riley.

But Riley's got more sense than Colton thinks--and he's not nearly as inflexible as he seems. And under a wide prairie sky of puffy clouds and bright stars, everything comes into focus--including a cowboy's heart.

Katrina Emmel's Near Misses and Cowboy Kisses will take you on a sweeping journey across the American prairie . . . once you love a boy in a Stetson, you'll never be the same.
