Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson. My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it’s 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. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He’s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let’s just say everything really 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 love 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… CASH is the first standalone book in the brand new steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.

Studying abroad just got a whole lot sexier... He's hot. Charming. Funny as hell. Too bad sexy Spaniard Rafa Montoya is off limits. Yeah, I fantasize about what his mouth can do other than speak four languages during our tutoring sessions. But I need to focus on bringing up my crappy grades, not his mouth. And I don't want to fall for yet another guy I can't have in the long run—I'm leaving Madrid to go back home at the end of the semester. The icing on the cake? My best friend Maddie is crushing on Rafa, too. Hard. Keeping my distance shouldn't be difficult, considering the attraction I feel for him is obviously one-sided. Only, it’s not. One earth shattering encounter involving a bathroom stall, a kiss to end all kisses, and a semi-public orgasm tells me he’s feeling it, too. The connection we share is impossible to resist. He wants me. I want him. But I'm leaving Madrid soon. And I know it will break Maddie's heart if she finds out about us. I need to keep things friendly with Rafa before we all get hurt. I just wish he’d stop being so damn wonderful—and so damn great in bed. I never imagined learning Spanish would be this much fun…or cause this much trouble.
