Synopsis
I moved back to save my father’s ranch… then I had one night stand with the infuriatingly hot cowboy whose family hates mine. Coming back to River Bend wasn't the plan, but my father's prison sentence and his crumbling ranch didn't ask for my opinion. My seven-year-old and I pack up Austin and move back anyway. Enter Luke McCallister. He’s the infuriatingly hot cowboy next door whose family has been feuding with mine since before I could spell “cattle.” And apparently he’s decided it’s his personal mission to point out every single way I’m messing up ranch life. One brutal day of broken fences and escaped cattle turns into one reckless night I absolutely cannot take back. The kind we both agree was a mistake. Then the drought hits, and suddenly we're sharing water rights, fixing fences side by side, and my daughter is following him around like he hung the Texas moon. He teaches my daughter how to ride. He makes sure we are taken care of. And somehow the cowboy I’m supposed to hate is starting to look dangerously perfect. Which would be fine. But River Bend has a long memory, and if this town decides I'm nothing but my father's daughter, Luke might be the one thing I can’t keep.
