The Cowboy's Pregnant Sweetheart

Two hearts. One stubborn past. And a second chance neither of them saw coming.

Karen Peterson made peace with her past a long time ago—or so she thought. These days, she's too busy running a ranch and helping raise her autistic nephew, Devon, to worry about teenage heartbreak. But when Carson McCall rolls back into Fireweed Ridge, bruised from a bull-riding accident and carrying enough emotional baggage to fill a saddlebag, old feelings start to stir.

Carson never planned on coming home, let alone staying. But a busted leg, bruised pride, and a bar fight gone wrong leave him stuck in town—and staring down a court-ordered sentence he didn't ask for: teaching riding lessons to a kid who reminds him far too much of his younger self.

Devon is the one thing they can agree on—and the reason they keep crossing paths. As the lessons unfold, so does something else: a quiet trust, a few sparks that never quite died, and the sense that maybe the life they were chasing wasn't the one they were meant for.

Carson's always believed the rodeo was his only shot at purpose. Karen's built a life rooted in family and strength, not fantasy. But the closer they get, the harder it is to ignore what's growing between them.

When the rodeo calls again, Carson will have to decide: is this still the dream, or has Fireweed Ridge become home?

Updated for 2025! The Cowboy's Pregnant Sweetheart is now part of the Fireweed Ridge series—where rugged cowboys and slow-burn romance collide in the Colorado Rockies.
