McGrath Books in Order

The McGrath series follows a tight knit family of Montana ranchers whose lives are upended by love, dangerous secrets, and the kind of loyalty that makes them impossible to walk away from. Set against wide open pastures and a small town where everyone knows everyone else’s history, these books mix friends to lovers romance with stalking exes, cult like communities, and long buried guilt.

In Waiting on a Cowboy, rancher Tate McGrath is still reeling from family drama when his lifelong best friend, Liz Scott, finally reaches her limit. She has loved him since they were kids but is tired of being his safe place while he never quite sees her as anything more. As Liz tries to move on and an abusive ex turns increasingly violent, Tate is forced to confront his own feelings and decide whether he is willing to fight for the woman who has always been at his side.

Love of a Cowboy turns to stoic middle brother Declan McGrath, whose life revolves around work and keeping the ranch running smoothly. That order is shaken when Skye Kennedy arrives, on the run from a secluded religious commune after witnessing a terrible crime. Declan offers food, shelter, and a job, believing he can keep his distance. Instead he becomes Skye’s anchor as threats from her former community reach across state lines and her first real taste of freedom collides with a steady, unexpected love.

The third book, True Love Cowboy, brings Jon Crawford back to Montana determined to take over his father’s spread and raise his young daughter in Big Sky country. Romance is not on his to do list, but Trinity McGrath has other ideas. Stubborn, capable, and fiercely protective of her family, she challenges Jon’s plans at every turn, even as the chemistry between them heats up. When someone from Jon’s past comes back with a score to settle, Trinity and the extended McGrath clan are pulled into a fight that will decide what kind of future Jon and his little girl can have.

Together, the McGrath books give you siblings who bicker over chores, watch each other’s backs in bar fights, and close ranks when outsiders threaten their own. Expect late night talks on the porch, bonfires, and town gatherings, but also restraining orders, courtrooms, and confrontations in dark parking lots. The series is ideal if you want your cowboy romance served with intense family drama and heroines who discover just how strong they can be.
