A swoon-worthy YA rivals-to-lovers romance between a Nebraskan cowboy and California girl, thrust together on the Oregon Trail.
Anything’s possible under a prairie sky…
Riley Thomas is feeling stuck—she’s moved from California to Nebraska, she’s on a weeklong Oregon Trail family bonding excursion, and her luggage is lost. There’s no one her age on the trip except a tall, dark and irksome cowboy who wrongly assumes she has zero ability to handle the great outdoors. She can’t wait for this misery to end—even though going “home” isn’t even possible anymore.
Lone wolf Colton Walker loves the simpler life of the plains and his family’s tourism business that helps protect them. He’s a stand-up guy—not a love ‘em and leave ‘em type like his rival, Jake. And he knows better than to take his chances with a prairie princess like Riley.
But Riley’s got more sense than Colton thinks—and he’s not nearly as inflexible as he seems. And under a wide prairie sky of puffy clouds and bright stars, everything comes into focus—including a cowboy’s heart.
Katrina Emmel’s Near Misses and Cowboy Kisses will take you on a sweeping journey across the American prairie . . . once you love a boy in a Stetson, you’ll never be the same.

      Sparks fly between handsome cowboy Colton Walker and exasperated West Coast transplant Riley Thomas in this lighthearted debut. After relocating to Nebraska, Riley’s family insists on embarking on an Oregon Trail tour, an outdoorsy survival reenactment run by Colton’s family. Though initially at odds, Riley and Colton soon grow closer as they traverse the trail; Colton realizes that Riley has survival capabilities he’d never suspect from a California girl, and Riley falls for Colton once she learns that his sweet, soft-spoken country gallantry is genuine. But there are plenty of perils on the trail, including buffalo stampedes, familial tumult, and the sudden appearance of Colton’s loudmouth rival, whose competitive streak against Colton once again rears its head in his pursuit of Riley. Then life-changing news from her mother forces Riley to decide whether Nebraska—and Colton—will be in her future at all. The Oregon Trail setting provides an evocative backdrop against which Riley and Colton’s snappy banter and push-pull dynamic plays out. Well-worn romance tropes delivered via tightly paced writing teeming with sunshiny vibes make this a swoony and uplifting read. Main characters read as white. Ages 12–up. Agent: Jordan Hamessley, JABberwocky Literary.
