Books like The Heart Won't Lie by Vicki Lewis Thompson
Michael Hartford, a best‑selling western author, is used to sporting cowboys’ charm, but his reputation is more Central Park West than Wild West. Facing a high‑profile photo shoot, he must prove he can live up to the cowboy persona—exactly this week at the Last Chance Ranch.
Enter Keri Fitzpatrick, a former socialite who has become a housekeeper after a public girl‑fight scandal. Cheerfully unrepentant, she discovers Michael’s secret and shares more than she expects, finding irresistible similarities between their worlds. Their unlikely romance tests whether Keri’s city sophistication and Michael’s rugged integrity can coexist at the very heart of the ranch.
A fun, contemporary romance that blends city glitter with western charm, The Heart Won’t Lie keeps readers entertained as these two characters learn to live and love the truth in the saddle.
