Desert Destinies - Book 2/His Shotgun Proposal/His Royal Prize [Paperback] Debbi Rawlins and Karen Toller Whittenburg

Two romance novellas set in the American Southwest, where heat, dust, and destiny collide. In Debbi Rawlins' *His Shotgun Proposal*, a rugged rancher and a city woman find themselves tangled in small-town expectations and an undeniable attraction that neither saw coming. Karen Toller Whittenburg's *His Royal Prize* ups the ante with a mistaken identity plot involving royalty, a case of "wrong woman, right feelings," and the kind of romantic chaos that only happens when a prince meets his match in the desert. Both stories lean into classic romance beats — forced proximity, cultural clash, characters who think they know what they want until they meet someone who changes everything. This is comfort reading for fans of Western settings, alpha heroes with soft centers, and happy endings that feel earned. Perfect for a lazy afternoon when you want escapism with a Southwestern backdrop.
