A swoon-worthy YA rivals-to-lovers romance between a Nebraskan cowboy and California girl
thrust together on the Oregon Trail. Anything’s possible under a prairie sky… Riley Thomas
is feeling stuck—she’s moved from California to Nebraska she’s on a weeklong Oregon Trail
family bonding excursion and her luggage is lost. There’s no one her age on the trip except a
tall dark and irksome cowboy who wrongly assumes she has zero ability to handle the great
outdoors. She can’t wait for this misery to end—even though going “home” isn’t even possible
anymore. Lone wolf Colton Walker loves the simpler life of the plains and his family’s tourism
business that helps protect them. He’s a stand-up guy—not a love ‘em and leave ‘em type like
his rival Jake. And he knows better than to take his chances with a prairie princess like
Riley. But Riley’s got more sense than Colton thinks--and he’s not nearly as inflexible as he
seems. And under a wide prairie sky of puffy clouds and bright stars everything comes into
focus--including a cowboy’s heart. Katrina Emmel’s Near Misses and Cowboy Kisses will take you
on a sweeping journey across the American prairie . . . once you love a boy in a Stetson
you’ll never be the same.
