Grit and Grace (Sagebrush Cowboys, #7)

A city wedding planner. A small-town sheriff. A love they never planned on.

Xavier
When my best friend asked me to plan his wedding, I said yes. I just didn’t expect it to be on a dusty ranch in nowhere, Texas.

I’m Xavier Hart, a Manhattan wedding planner, perfectionist, and completely out of my depth in cowboy country. Wrangling vendors, dodging small-town gossip, and living in a guest cabin with spotty Wi-Fi isn’t exactly my style. But for Lucas, I’ll make it work.

What I didn’t plan for was him.

Sheriff Marcus Webb. He’s tall, steady, and devastatingly handsome. He’s grit and steel wrapped in a uniform, with a voice that makes my knees weak and eyes that linger too long. One dance at the bachelor party and I’m gone, falling for a man from a different world than mine.

Marcus
Being sheriff means living under a spotlight. My father wore this badge before me, and I’ve spent my life trying to be the man Sagebrush expects.

The one thing I can’t be? Out.

I’ve always liked men, but not here, not where every choice I make is judged. Annual vacations to Houston are where I let myself breathe. Sagebrush is where I keep the mask on.

Until Xavier Hart blows into town in sharp suits and sharper words, tearing down every wall I built. He’s chaos, temptation, and everything I’ve told myself I can’t have.

And the longer he’s here, the more I wonder if I can be the sheriff Sagebrush needs… and live my truth at the same time.

Grit and Grace
is a heartfelt, slow-burn cowboy romance about risking it all for love, finding the courage to out loud, and discovering that sometimes the toughest battles are the ones worth winning.
