The Cowboy’s Friendly Wake-Up Call by Rocklyn Ryder

Our friendship is too important for my feelings for her to go messing it all up now.

I’ve known Mercy was my soul mate since we were climbing trees and skinning knees together as kids. Problem is, my best friend in the whole world doesn’t look at me the same way as I look at her.

There’s not another woman on the planet that I can stand to be with, so I know I’ll probably be alone forever. And that’s the fate I’ve resigned myself to; until I need a date for a fancy charity dinner my family’s ranch has donated heavily to.

Those curves in that formal gown are enough to break any mortal man, let alone one who’s been in love with her more than half his life.

Is Mercy just having mercy on me? Or will she still be mine when we get back home?
