Wild Sanctuary The BRAND NEW small town romantic suspense book with cowboys from Pamela O'Rourke for 2026

Prepare to meet your newest small-town obsession with this brand-new series of spicy romances full of suspense and mystery. Perfect for readers who love Catherine Cowles, Elsie Silver and Devney Perry! I swore I'd never come back to Blackstone Creek. Officially, I'm here to write a feature on Glacier Ridge Ranch for my editor. Unofficially, I'm following a lead. No matter what anyone says, I never believed my father's death three years ago was just an accident. I came back to Blackstone Creek for answers. Not for Wyatt Hartley. He's still quiet strength wrapped in worn denim and guarded eyes. Still the man who can make my heart race with a single look. And still completely off-limits. We couldn't be more different. Wyatt is gruff, guarded, and happiest alone. I'm the girl who fills every silence and refuses to back down, no matter how many times he pushes me away. Until the night everything changes. The deeper I dig into my father's death, the more dangerous this town becomes. Someone is watching me far too closely. And the closer I get to Wyatt, the harder it is to tell what's more dangerous: the truth... or the man I'm falling for all over again. Tropes: Age gap Forced proximity Grumpy x sunshine Mutual pining Slow burn Found family Protective MMC No third act breakup Praise for Pamela O'Rourke: 'PHENOMENAL.
