About the Book

"My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it' no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money. I haven't stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. There's just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch's foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don't care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He's rude, he's growly, and he wants me gone. I'd fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch. We're enemies from the get-go rns out, Cash is really good at the ranch thing. He's got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let's just say everything is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in lobe with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too. But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn't already lassoed mine..."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson.

One year on a Texas ranch.

One angry, ridiculously hot cowboy.

One clause in a will that changes everything.

Mollie Luck has run out of luck. When her estranged father unexpectedly dies, he leaves his massive cattle ranch to her--but not without a catch. To collect her inheritance, city girl Mollie will have to move back to the small-town Texas ranch she left as a child when her parents split and manage it for a full year.

Needing the money to invest in her company, Mollie resigns herself to moving to cowboy country. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

But there's one giant roadblock to her plan: the ranch's grumpy foreman, Cash Rivers. Never mind how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps; he's rude, growly, and wants Mollie gone.

Working side by side in the Texas heat turns into moonlit nights, slow dancing cheek-to-cheek in dusty bars, and moments where the line between hate and hunger gets real blurry.

But Mollie's stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: They may break horses, but they also break hearts.
