ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 26, 2026

Lilibeth

When I moved to River Falls, Colorado, falling for the town’s broody, tight-lipped cowboy was not part of the plan. Yet somehow, every run-in with Caden Wilde turns into a battle of sharp words and stolen glances. We argue like we’re at war, but my pulse never gets the memo.

He’s stubborn. Infuriating. Impossible. And the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen.

When a twist of fate forces us to spend a few days alone together, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Beneath the scowls and sarcasm, I see pieces of the man he tries so hard to hide.
There’s just one problem. Caden doesn’t believe in relationships.

So, I agree to his rules. A few days. No promises. No expectations. We’ll walk away as friends when it’s over. Simple. Until my heart refuses to play by those rules.

Caden

Two years ago, the woman I planned to marry shattered my future with a single word. Since then, I’ve kept my life simple, my ranch, my routine, and no room for anything that could wreck me again.

Then Lilibeth Asher blows into town like a Colorado storm. She’s sunshine where I’m shadows. Hope where I’m hesitant. Too kind, too bright, too tempting for a man who swore he was done believing in forever. From the moment we met, she’s challenged me, pushing my buttons, breaking through my silence, and making me feel things I buried long ago.

When a snowstorm traps us together, I convince myself I can handle it. A temporary truce. A few nights in my bed. No strings attached. I’ve survived heartbreak before. I can survive this.

But Lilibeth isn’t temporary. She slips past my defenses, tearing down the walls I built piece by piece. And when life throws us a curveball neither of us sees coming, walking away is no longer an option. Now I have a choice to make. Smother this spark before it roars out of control.

Or surrender to the wild flame she’s ignited inside me—a fire fierce enough to burn away my past and powerful enough to light the rest of my life.

REVIEW: WILDE FLAME is the third instalment in Kelly Elliott’s contemporary, adult LOVE IS A COWBOY erotic, romance series. This is thirty-two year old rancher Caden Wilde,and twenty-nine year old Lilibeth Asher’s story line. WILDE FLAME can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary .

Told from dual first person perspectives (Caden and Lilibeth) WILDE FLAME follows the building but acrimonious relationship between Caden Wilde and Lilibeth Asher. Caden and Lilibeth have known each other for most of their adult life but Caden was burned by a previous relationship, and believed he would never be ready for another love. Lilibeth Asher has ‘pined’ after Caden for as long as she can remember but Caden’s less than friendly attitude often leaves Lilibeth wondering where everything went wrong. A snow storm would strand our couple together wherein they will act on their feelings, feelings that are not necessarily reciprocal for our story line hero, who would prefer a friends with benefits relationship than anything else but life had other plans from Lilibeth and Caden, and our couple must come to terms with a new direction in life.

The world building focuses on the small town friendships, and the tight-knit Wilde and Asher families. The usual gossips, and a ghost from the past refuse to allow our couple their own happily ever after but Caden considers himself too broken for love,while Lilibeth wants nothing more to love the man who’s afraid to fall.

The relationship between Caden and Lilibeth is an enemies to friends to lovers Lilibeth believes Caden dislikes everything about her but Caden is frightened of his feelings, scared to fall and get hurt again. As our couple must navigate a new path going forward, the past returns demanding a second chance. The $ex scenes are passionate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters, most of whom we met in the previous instlaments.Caden’s extended family is hoping to see Caden find his own happily ever after, secretly hoping he falls for the woman currently in his life.

WILDE FLAME is a story of betrayal and heart break, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is emotional and captivating; the romance is seductive and steamy; the character are charismatic, desperate and dynamic.
