The Cowboy's Unexpected Love: Wade and Sierra (MacFarland Ranch Book 1)

The Cowboy's Unexpected Love is the first book in SJ McCoy's MacFarland Ranch series, a western romance set in Paradise Valley, Montana. Wade MacFarland runs a guest lodge on his family's ranch. His marriage to his high school sweetheart ended in divorce years ago, and he has made peace with the idea that love may not find him again. That changes when he discovers Sierra Hartford sitting in a ditch on the highway—still wearing her wedding dress. Sierra is fleeing her wedding and the threat to her life. As the heiress to Hartford Enterprises and now a billionaire following her father's and brother's deaths, she has never controlled her own fate. Wade's kindness offers her a refuge and the possibility of a different life. However, Sierra is also about to become the adoptive mother to two small children she has never met, though she is committed to giving them a good home. Wade's reluctance to have children—the reason his marriage ended—creates tension as Sierra falls for him. Both must navigate whether unexpected love can overcome their conflicting expectations.
