The Rancher's Code

DYLAN:
There’s nothing safe about Cole Stratton.
He’s straight, untouchable, and carved from grit—the last distraction I need while trying to wrangle a wedding in the middle of cowboy country.
One, he’s not into men. And two, he’s a rancher who carries silence like a loaded gun.
Three weeks on Cole’s land, planning his sister’s wedding while he watches me like I don’t belong. He’s the kind of man who owns half the valley but still ropes cattle. And Amber? Full-blown bridezilla. I’m just trying to survive without getting trampled—or buried in roses.
But Cole’s always there—solid, smoldering, and close enough to touch. Just being near him feels like a risk.
Get too close, and I might not walk away in one piece.

COLE:
The rules were simple: be the good son, marry the right girl, run the family ranch.
But things didn’t go according to plan.
Now I’m divorced, chasing redemption, and determined to prove I’m worthy of the billion-dollar empire my father built. No mistakes. No distractions.
Then my sister drags home a flashy wedding planner from the city who turns my land into a fairytale circus. Dylan Reid is bold, stubborn, and impossible to ignore.
The tension between us crackles. Charged glances, tight restraint. The way he looks at me like I’m not coming undone. Dylan wasn’t in the plan. Not even close.
But out here, with temptation riding shotgun and my grip slipping, rules have never felt so meaningless.

This is the first book in the Western Oath series. It can be read as a standalone with no cliffhanger.
