Solid Gold Cowboy

*Author Note: this is a novella that is available digitally by itself, or in print as a bonus story in the back of THE HEARTBREAKER OF ECHO PASS*

New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates enthralls with this captivating novella, starring a Gold Valley fan favorite…

He’s witnessed all of Gold Valley’s happy-ever-afters—is it finally time for this cowboy to claim his own?

As owner of Gold Valley’s bar, Laz Jenkins has had a ringside seat to all of the town’s drama. He’s poured drinks for, and given advice to, almost every cowboy in town—he knows everyone’s secrets. But no one realizes he’s hiding a secret of his own. Laz has been in love, for years, with his best friend, Jordan. Which means he’s definitely not going to her wedding. But when Jordan shows up in his bar in her wedding dress, very much not married, suddenly all bets are off.

Jordan appreciates the irony that she, a woman with insomnia, almost sleepwalked into a marriage she didn’t want. But this runaway bride is facing the fact that she needs a new place to stay, and fast. When Laz offers support, and his house to sleep at, she agrees. Except suddenly she’s not thinking of Laz as a friend, but as someone much more intense…and irresistible! He’s always been totally off-limits, but is their chemistry fierce enough to burn through every one of their reservations?
