By the Bootstraps by Alexa Martin

Luna Starr was destined for a life with her head in the clouds, and as one of the most sought-after publicists in romance publishing, her delusional tendencies serve her well... or at least they used to.

After life threw her a curveball and her latest book launch failed, she decides it's time to turn her cowboy fantasies into reality and purchases a tiny farm in Celestial, Texas. Tate Jacobs hates cowboys, which is a small problem, considering his family happens to own the largest ranch in Celestial. Life might not have gone the way he wanted, but as head coach at his old high school and the town's best (and only) handyman, he's figured out how to stay busy and keep his head down - until the new girl in town shows up.

As Tate and Luna spend more time together, unexpected feelings and undeniable chemistry bubble to the surface. Luna might've moved to Celestial to make her cowboy dreams come true, but somewhere beneath the Friday night lights, she discovers that love in the real world can be far better than she imagined.
