Jake T. Wild — Author

Cowboy Romance · Ranch Settings · Dark · Steamy

Wide open skies. Zero rules.
All heat.

Jake T. Wild writes the kind of romance that makes you lock your door, turn off your phone, and forget you had plans.

He found his way into writing through the back door — not through MFA programs or literary journals, but through years of listening to stories that never quite got told the right way. Stories about men who don't soften easily, women who don't break quietly, and the kind of tension that builds in the silence between two people who want each other and won't say it.

His books are set in the American West — in ranches carved out of hard land, in towns where everyone knows your business and nobody asks questions — because Jake believes that place shapes people in ways cities never can. His heroes are rough, possessive, and built for keeping. His heroines are sharper than they look and braver than they feel. And the heat between them? Earned on every page.

Jake writes dark cowboy romance because he believes in stories that don't apologize for what they are. No slow burns that never ignite. No heroes who hold back when they shouldn't. Just raw, honest, high-heat romance between two people who were never supposed to end up together — and couldn't stay apart if they tried.

When he's not writing, Jake is somewhere without Wi-Fi, almost certainly on a horse, and definitely not talking about his feelings. He's saving those for the page.

Crooked Creek Daddies

Dark western romance. Possessive cowboys. No easy surrender.

Welcome to Crooked Creek: a hard-edged Montana town built on bad blood, old ranch names, locked barns, second chances, secret babies, and men who do not know how to let go once they decide something is theirs.

Jake T. Wild writes the kind of romance that makes you lock your door and turn your phone off. Born somewhere between a Montana sunset and a bad decision, Jake believes every woman deserves a man who will burn the world down to find her—and every story deserves a hero who means it.
