A Curveball for the Cowboy
(2024)(The fifth book in the Elk Mountain Ranch series)
A novel by Ruth Pendleton
He’s healing from an injury. She’s locked into a no-dating pact. They have one summer to get it right before he heads to the rodeo again.
Bull rider Hudson Matthews is home for the summer, his dreams of competing temporarily on hold due to a serious injury. Restless and unable to work on the family ranch, he reluctantly agrees to coach a local softball team.
Sage Graham will do anything for family, including making a no-dating pact with her twin sister. When she joins the city softball league, she’s expecting a casual summer filled with batting practice and games. What she doesn’t expect is the handsome coach who makes her wish she’d never made a pact at all.
Sparks fly when Hudson and Sage are forced to work together, coaching their struggling team to the finals. As they navigate the highs and lows of summer league games, they discover that healing can come from unexpected places — even from the batter's box.
But with autumn looming and Hudson's uncertain future calling him back to the rodeo circuit, can they seize this fleeting moment to build something lasting? Or will their fears and past promises keep them from taking a chance on love?
The Matthews family saga continues in A Curveball for the Cowboy. This clean romance series is most fun if read in order, starting with book one, A Llama for the Cowboy.
