Falling for a Shy Cowboy

Vargas Ranch Book 2

By: Karen Baney

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She’s a single mom rebuilding her life. He’s the shy cowboy who’s loved her from afar. Can faith, love, and a little courage heal their wounded hearts?

Dylan Vargas has always been quiet, keeping his emotions buried deep—especially his longtime crush on Brisa Franco. While working the horses at his family’s ranch near Wickenburg, Arizona, his best friend Adan takes matters into his own hands, signing Dylan up for an online dating service. But as Dylan hesitantly scrolls through profiles, one familiar face stops him cold—Brisa. His childhood dream. His best friend’s sister. His heart’s greatest desire… and utterly off-limits.

Brisa never imagined coming home would mean crossing paths with Dylan in such an unexpected way. After a devastating accident leaves her four-year-old son disabled, she moves back to Wickenburg for a fresh start, determined to provide stability for her boy. What she doesn’t expect is to help Dylan navigate his own struggles—the anxiety that’s kept him silent for too long. As she teaches him to find his voice, he reminds her what it means to trust again.

But old wounds run deep, and fears from the past threaten their fragile bond. Will Dylan find the courage to claim the love he’s always wanted? And will Brisa take a leap of faith and believe in the cowboy who sees her for who she truly is?


Love is in the air at the Vargas Guest Ranch & Resort near Wickenburg, Arizona. The Vargas family lives and breathes their family motto: We do not deviate from the Lord’s plan.
