# My Pretty Cowboy
**By Catalina Valle**
Mia Sterling has everything a woman could dream of: beauty, wealth, fame, and a successful career as an internationally recognized artist. But behind her glamorous New York lifestyle lies a marriage filled with betrayal, heartbreak, and secrets.
Desperate to escape her husband, William, Mia abandons everything she's ever known and disappears under a new identity: Chloe Anderson.
When an unexpected accident leaves her Mustang stranded on a cattle ranch in Pleasant Valley, West Virginia, she finds herself at the mercy of Sawyer Montgomery, a rugged, handsome cowboy with a guarded heart and little patience for complicated women.
Sawyer once believed in forever. But after losing his beloved wife and unborn child, he buried his dreams of love and family, vowing never to risk that kind of heartbreak again.
Until Chloe crashes into his life. Literally.
She's sophisticated, stubborn, witty, and completely out of place in his world of muddy boots, cattle, and small-town traditions. He's infuriatingly protective, devastatingly attractive, and determined to keep his distance.
But neither is prepared for the undeniable attraction growing between them.
As Chloe discovers the simple pleasures of ranch life, unexpected friendships, and the possibility of happiness, Sawyer begins questioning the walls he's spent years building around his heart.
Unfortunately, their budding romance doesn't go unnoticed. A jealous schoolteacher wants Sawyer for herself, while his protective family questions Chloe's mysterious past.
And somewhere beyond the peaceful hills of West Virginia, a powerful husband isn't ready to let his wife disappear.
With her secrets threatening to unravel and Sawyer's heart hanging in the balance, Mia must decide whether to keep running or finally fight for the life she deserves.
Because falling in love was never part of her escape plan.
And neither was a cowboy who might become her forever.
