Reckless With the Cowboy

The Westons of Montana Book 2

by Elsa Winckler

Genre: Contemporary Small-Town Romance

 

 

Cowboy Becket Weston likes women, plural, and has a reputation for breaking hearts. His bad-boy behavior masks a deeper need to atone for past mistakes. His side-hustle—using a pseudonym and posting comic drawings of ranch life on social media—lets him explore life, love, and grief without being exposed. He even has a following! But no amount of introspection can explain his fascination with Eleanor Campbell—Main Street, Marietta’s newest shopkeeper. She’s definitely not his type, so why does she keep turning up in his drawings?

 

Ellie Campbell isn’t one for staying long in any one place, but when she inherits money from her grandmother and decides to open a yarn store in small-town Marietta, it feels like she’s putting down roots. She’s not looking for a relationship after one too many hard knocks, literally, but Becket Weston gets under her skin like no other, igniting passion that’s impossible to ignore.

 

He’s a bad boy playboy and everyone knows it, but there’s something about him that just doesn’t add up. Does Ellie have the courage to stick around and find a way into his heart?

A Family With the Cowboy

The Westons of Montana Book 1

 

 

Widowed rancher Hayden Weston knows what it means to be responsible for his siblings, his eight-year-old son, and the running of the huge family cattle ranch. Some even call him a stern and grumpy taskmaster and they’re not exactly wrong. So when Hayden discovers his son reading a storybook instead of doing chores, he calls on Luke’s teacher to talk about priorities.

 

School teacher Laura Anderson is new to Marietta, Montana, and has never—until now—been reprimanded for encouraging a child to read. It doesn’t help that sweet Luke’s father is the handsome cowboy with the amber eyes that she met in Grey’s Saloon, or that she’s wildly attracted to him.

 

Sparks keep flying as their paths keep crossing, but Hayden is determined not to give in to his incomprehensible need to have, hold, and protect Laura from any type of harm. He’s the one who’ll hurt her if he lets her stray too close. He’s not ready to admit his feelings or commit to sharing his life with her.

 

Even if love comes tumbling in.

I have been reading love stories for as long as I can remember and when I ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during my Honours studies, I was hooked for life. I married my college boyfriend and soul mate and after 47 years, 3 interesting and wonderful children and 4 beautiful grandchildren, he still makes me weak in the knees. We are fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty’s Bay, South Africa with the ocean a block away and a beautiful mountain right behind us. And although life so far has not always been an easy ride, it has always been an exciting and interesting one! I like the heroines in my stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous! My stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.

Becket Weston, the second brother who also lives and works on the Weston Ranch likes women – plural. He has a reputation as a bad boy, breaking hearts as far as he goes. He loves the ranch and can’t imagine living anywhere else, but his first love isn’t ranching, it’s drawing cartoon-like pictures of dogs and adding text to express his thoughts about life and love and losing someone. These he shares on social media under a pseudonym and to his surprise, his posts go viral.

 

I came across Iain Welch’s gorgeous sketches of his dogs – do visit his website https://iainwelch.co.uk or his Instagram page @artywelch to see the adorable illustrations he does of the antics of his dogs. His artwork was the inspiration for Becket’s “secret”.

 

When Ellie Campbell’s grandmother died, she walked away from an abusive relationship and takes the trip she’s always dreamt about. The first place she visits, is Marietta, the small Montana town her grandmother never stopped talking about. She opens a yarn shop, but as she tells everyone, she’s not settling down, she’s only interrupting her journey for a while. When she topples from a rickety ladder and ends up in Becket’s arms, everything changes, though.

 

I hope you enjoy reading Becket and Ellie’s story as much as I loved writing it.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
