The Billionaire Cowboy and His Best Friend Forever: A Clean Romance (Western Billionaire Ranchers #3)

Handsome owner of Huckleberry Horse Farms, and one-time inventor, Sam Griffin is rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. It seems like everything he touches turns to a win. Living the life of simple pleasures among all-things horses, Sam comes into his true wealth when fellow Navy brat – and incredibly gorgeous – Lt. Peyton Woodbury re-appears in his life. Sam and Peyton have known each other since they were children, but now that the early-retired Navy officer might be a neighbor of his in the paradise that is Coronado Island, Sam finds out the tomboy he rode horses with as a kid is now an irresistible, beautiful woman.

Sam and Peyton discover how much they’ve missed with their on-again-off-again friendship and how much they enjoy learning all the things they like – or love – about each other as a grown-up man and woman.
But neither Sam nor Peyton is without their tender imperfections. Sam deals with his widowed dad, a cantankerous, retired Navy admiral with dashed dreams of Sam having a Navy career, not accepting Sam for who he is. Sam is never quite good enough for his critical dad, but Peyton understands. And Sam is there when the ghosts of combat crowd his best, life-long friend, and Peyton needs a compassionate co-pilot to help her through.

Sam and Peyton share a love for horses and beach-side trail rides but figure out that those things might just be an excuse to be near one another. When family stuff, crime, and insecurities rear their drama, and sudden opportunities of far, far away threaten to come between them, will the sudden love affair between Sam and Peyton meet its end? Or will they discover that what’s next in life is right in front of them, when they’re standing face to face.
