Wyatt Peterson Jessica (2025)

Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson. Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup: a cowboy Casanova who wears a Stetson, looks irresistible in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice. He is exactly what the narrator is looking for, if only he were not also her best friend. She returns to her hometown of Harstville, Texas, for a few months while waiting for her dream job to begin thousands of miles away, hoping to end an epic dry spell with a local cowboy. Wyatt has been her best friend since second grade, and she has been in love with him for almost as long, but his wild, untamed nature and heartbreaker reputation make him seem completely out of reach. When she asks him to teach her how to find a hookup, his reluctant agreement leads from fake flirting to fake dating, real kissing, and everything else. Now she wants to be Wyatts last rodeo, but she is leaving town, and she is not sure he would ever change his playboy ways. Cowboys cannot be tamed, and apparently neither can hearts. Wyatt is an interconnected standalone novel in the Lucky River Ranch series.
