A heartfelt, true-to-life modern Western romance about passion, independence, and the pull between two very different worlds.
 
In Cowboy, Sara Davidson tells a deeply personal, sensual, and emotionally honest story about a love that defies convention. Blending memoir and fiction, Davidson explores the complexities of attraction, freedom, and commitment between two people from opposite worlds.
 
When Sara, a successful Los Angeles writer, meets Zan, a rugged Colorado cowboy, their connection is instant and electric. She’s a city woman used to deadlines and sophistication; he’s a man of the land, grounded in grit and simplicity. As their love deepens, Sara must decide whether she can bridge the gap between her world and his — and whether love is enough to tame the wildness in them both.
 
With humor, candor, and vivid Western imagery, Cowboy captures both the thrill of passion and the ache of self-discovery. It’s as much about identity and independence as it is about romance — a reminder that love can transform us, even when it doesn’t fit neatly into our plans.
 
Set against the backdrop of the American West, this is a story about the tension between modern ambition and timeless connection — and about what happens when two strong spirits meet under a big, open sky.
