Her Saltwater Cowboy by Julie Carobini

Sometimes love finds you where the mountains meet the sea …

Willow Mercer took the cook position at a quiet coastal ranch to stay off the radar and keep her past where it belonged—behind her. But when hot-tempered cowboy Chance Sutter storms into her kitchen, leaving a mess in his wake, she finds herself face to face with something she never expected: a man who sees past her walls.
Chance has never been afraid of hard work, but when his father unexpectedly names his estranged cousin as the new foreman, Chance must choose—swallow his pride or walk away from the only home he’s ever known.
Helping the new cook plan a welcome dinner wasn’t high on Chance’s list, but Willow’s quiet strength and determination chip away at his defenses. What begins as reluctant teamwork deepens into something more.
But Willow’s past—and one costly decision—is about to catch up with her. And when the truth surfaces, the fragile trust between them is put to the test.
Set against the inspirational backdrop of burgeoning olive groves and the salt-kissed winds of nearby Colibri Beach, Her Saltwater Cowboy is a heartfelt, faith-anchored romance about second chances, family redemption… and finding home where you least expect it.
