How Cowboys of Chance Creek Began
Cora Seton, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, launched the Cowboys of Chance Creek series in 2013 with a vision to blend her love for cowboys, country life, and modern romance. Inspired by her own move from California to a remote British Columbia town, Seton crafted Chance Creek, Montana, as a fictional haven where family, community, and love thrive. Her background as an eco-farmer and mother of four infuses the series with authentic rural charm and relatable characters, making each story feel like a visit to a real small town.
The Heart of Cowboys of Chance Creek
The series kicks off with The Cowboy’s E-Mail Order Bride, where rancher Ethan Cruz is tricked into expecting a mail-order bride, only to meet Autumn Leeds, a journalist seeking a story. Their chemistry sparks a romance that sets the tone for the series’ blend of humor and heart. In The Cowboy Wins a Bride, Jamie Lassiter bets he can win over Claire Cruz, Ethan’s sister, before she leaves Chance Creek forever. The stakes are high, and the romance is electric.
The Cowboy Imports a Bride follows Rob Matheson, who competes for a prime ranch by wooing Morgan Tate, a winery executive with dreams of her own. The Cowboy’s Christmas Bride, one of the series’ later entries, wraps up the main arc with a festive tale of love and redemption. Across its 10 books, the series explores themes of family, trust, and second chances, all set in the vibrant community of Chance Creek. Seton’s vivid descriptions and witty dialogue bring Montana’s ranches to life, while her focus on contemporary issues—like balancing career and love—grounds the stories in reality.
Each novel stands alone but builds on the interconnected lives of Chance Creek’s residents, creating a rich tapestry of friendships and rivalries. Fans love the mix of steamy romance, small-town gossip, and Western grit, making it a standout in the cowboy romance genre.
