The Cowboy Contract by Paula Altenburg

Posted March 3, 2026 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

When a high-end, off-the-grid, Wild West-themed ghost town needs a country singer for an elite international client, Burning Scrub has two months to turn a reluctant country star into a cowboy with a hit record.

Winner of a national vocal competition, Beau Jones hates country music and the recording contract hanging over his head. But his family needs the prize money. His agent books him into a remote Montana ranch for two months to polish his brand, teach him how to cowboy up, and record a country record, whether Beau agrees or not. When Beau wakes up in a frontier jail, watched by a beautiful jailer, he resolves to be the worst cowboy this town has ever seen.

Internal medicine doctor Belle Forsythe is tasked with keeping Beau out of trouble. She has no interest in celebrities or country music. She has a five-year contract, which will pay off her medical school debt. Until then, she’s determined to keep her twenty-first-century doctoring skills current and research nineteenth-century medical practices.

Belle’s resolved to her fate until Beau. He’s an advertisement for trouble, and she can’t wait.

She’s chaos in scrubs. He’s control in cowboy boots. And the sparks between them? Wildfire.

Tennessee Lisle has spent his life holding everything together—his family, their businesses, the town that relies on him. He doesn’t bend. He doesn’t break. And he definitely doesn’t fall for reckless, barefoot dreamers who talk to deer and smell like wildflowers.

Except…he might be falling for one anyway.

Matilda Stark has zero interest in playing by Cowboy Point’s rules. She’s a vet tech with a rescue animal problem, an ancient truck, and a lifelong thing for the brooding cowboy who acts like feelings are a four-letter word. Tennessee is quiet, steady, way too serious—and more addictive than sin.

He’s her opposite in every way. But Matilda’s sure they fit.

When she decides to take the initiative in the form of a puppy, it becomes clear that Tennessee will have to choose: keep playing it safe, or risk everything for the only woman who’s ever made him feel.

And Matilda? She’s done waiting. If this is real, she’s not letting him walk away.

Not without a fight.

Sunflower “Sunny” Bloom has always been an introvert, happier working in the family flower farm than talking with people, but it’s time to step out of her comfort zone.

With her sisters blissfully partnered, Sunny enters a Valentine’s Day bachelorette auction, dreaming of her own shot at love. Worst decision ever. She doesn’t know what to wear or how to do her hair and makeup, and only one person bids on her after endless seconds of silence. Mortified, Sunny flees.

Burned-out architect Thorne Westbrook traded corporate grind for his own firm and a balanced life, but blueprints can’t fill the void. At the auction, on a whim, he bids high on the wide-eyed beauty no one else wants. She vanishes before hello, so he chases her to small-town Marietta, Montana, hungry for that date…and maybe more.

Defenses crumble over dinner confessions, fascination blooms, and passions ignite. But can two wary, guarded people trust each other to finally get it right?

Title: The Bachelor’s Winning Bid
Series: The Bloom Sisters #3
Author: Nicole Flockton
Published: February 10, 2026
Publisher: Tule Publishing
My Rating: 4.5 stars

We continue The Bloom Sisters series with Sunny’s story in The Bachelor’s Winning Bid. I am enjoying this series so much, especially since it is set in my favorite fictional town, Marietta, Montana. We’ve met Sunny before, and her quiet personality, completely wrapped up in her love for the flower farm, runs deep. It was such fun to see her find her own happily-ever-after.

Sunny had decided to step outside of her comfort zone. She’s watched her sisters find their perfect match and, even if she is shy and content creating new flower hybrids at the flower farm… still, she’d love to have someone special in her life, too. She’ll take a risk, and enter a Valentine’s Day auction… and immediately begins to second-guess her decision. When the silence stretches uncomfortably long, and a table full of arrogant men starts to make comments about her, Sunny simply wants to sink into the floor. Until a bid is made, a very unreasonable high bid is made. She’s not hanging around to find out who did such an outrageous thing, convinced that she’ll just be a laughingstock to the bidder, Sunny flees home and vows that her romantic notions are firmly behind her. Romance is just not for her. Until that bidder tracks her down and insists on their date… perhaps that risk was worth it after all.

Thorne is burned out. Simple. Burned by life, by romance with a disastrous marriage now behind him. He needs a reboot, a fresh start, and never could have expected that helping out a friend by going to that Valentine’s Day auction would be the step that could lead him into a far different future. He could see how uncomfortable that lovely young woman was up on that stage, and he could hear the rude comments from a table full of idiots. Did he intend to bid? No. Yet that impulsive action is about to change lives, and if winning the charmingly shy Sunny takes a bit of time, it’s certainly an enjoyable experience.

I loved Sunny and Thorne’s romance (and I got a bit of a chuckle at a pun I saw in this hero’s name since Sunny had just created a new rose hybrid). Both are wounded in different ways, both are looking for something, someone who truly gets them, understands them, and could love them just exactly as they are. Their story is well-written (I expect that from this author), full of emotions from tears to laughter, the shenanigans of the residents of one quirky small town, and the love of family, even when they can be annoying. If you love a well-crafted romance with relatable and believable characters, then you’d enjoy this one. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the series with The Cowboy’s Unexpected Family, due out in June of 2026.

Grey’s Anatomy, meet Northern Exposure…

Lee Tipton, MD, takes running from her past to an extreme, hotfooting it from Georgia to a temporary position at Yukon Valley Hospital in chilly Alaska. Her newly purchased winter gear may protect her from the elements, but no amount of insulation can protect her from her deep-seated fear that a romantic partner will once again use her for personal gain. Despite the hospital staff’s matchmaking efforts, Lee swears she has no interest in the town’s cocky lead paramedic, even if his sexy smile sets off palpitations.

Maverick Steen learned his one simple rule of romance the hard way: no dating outsiders. That includes the hospital’s newest fish-out-of-water doctor, whom he finds himself paired with as they navigate critical care cases and snowmobile accidents. Yet when Lee embraces the beauty in the Alaskan interior and cottons to his sled dog team of misfits, suddenly, Maverick’s heart—and his bed—feel a whole lot warmer.

The problem? Lee’s assignment ends in three months. Can they risk everything for a love that might not survive the winter?

He’s a Texas lawman charged with protecting her. She’s a judge accustomed to controlling everything in her life and courtroom. When danger threatens, can these two opposites find a compromise?

District Court Judge Erin Finley Latham might come from wealth and power, but she’s worked her way to the top to become a no-nonsense, by-the-book judge. When two judges are murdered, and she’s threatened, Erin refuses to run or hide.

US Marshall Rance Parker is dismayed by his new assignment—to sequester and protect the lofty Judge Latham instead of hunting down the threat. Still, he interrupts Judge Latham’s court, shuts down the proceedings, and hustles her into protective custody, ignoring her protests. No cell phone, no detours, no packing, no calls. No.

Hiding Erin at a family cabin on their Destiny River property, Rance is surprised that Erin enjoys board games, cooking, and learning to fish. When Erin eyes the handsome, confident lawman, she feels less like a hostage and more like a woman enjoying the attention of an attractive man. Rance knows she’s out of his league, but can the magic of Destiny River convince him to try to win her heart once the danger’s passed?

But when her past comes calling, can Kendall trust the future Harlan promises enough to finally stay—with the only man she’s ever loved, in the only place that’s ever felt like home?

Danny’s waited a decade for this second chance, and he’s not wasting it. Every glance, every accidental touch, every long winter night is another chance to remind her exactly what she walked away from.
