A sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance between a hotheaded hockey player and the ice princess at the figure skating rink next door. Charlie Porter is a force to be reckoned with, both on and off the hockey rink. When she accidentally starts a brawl after a game, she’s suspended from school, meaning no hockey this season—and no chance to play in front of college scouts. Alexa Goldstein’s pairs skating partner was hurt in the fight, and with only four months until their next competition, pickings for a replacement are slim. So she strikes a deal with Charlie—skate with her at the competition well enough to place, and her Olympian mother will use her formidable connections to get Charlie in front of scouts at D-1 schools, even without her team. It seems impossible, and not just because Charlie has never figure skated before. Where Charlie is powerful, Alexa is elegant; where Charlie is quick to blow up, Alexa is cold as ice. But as the frostiness between them starts to thaw, they begin to wonder if they’ve found a partner for more than just skating.

Welcome to Taurus Ranch, where the romance is high-heat and heartfelt, and the cowboys are cow men. Broke, jobless, and surrounded by exes and friends I’m pretty sure don’t actually like me, I’m at my wits’ end. So when I get a call that my estranged grandma died and gave me half her guest ranch, I do the only logical thing—pack up my entire life and move across the country to a place I haven’t been since I was six. Reckless? Absolutely. In my defense, I have nothing to lose. Or so I thought. Turns out that the ranch has seen better days and needs a miracle to bring it back to life. To make matters worse, Cal, the grumpy minotaur who got the other half of the ranch, seems determined to make my life a living hell. Too bad for him, I’m as stubborn as the ranch’s namesake. This is my chance to start over and find a place where I belong, and I won’t give up because some rude, annoyingly hot cow man thinks I’m not good enough. As we learn to work together, stern glares and cutting barbs give way to lingering glances and flirty banter. But wanting Cal is far more dangerous than hating him. My heart can’t handle being tossed aside by yet another man, and I refuse to run away from what I’m building. But when he puts his hat on my head and calls me “darlin’”, how am I supposed to resist him? Cowboy rom com meets monster romance in this sweet and spicy story of a fish out of water human FMC trying to rediscover her roots and the experienced minotaur rancher MMC who can’t lose the only place he’s ever called home. Expect witty banter, a grumpy x sunshine slow burn that still packs plenty of heat, and a colorful cast of characters that will have you wanting to revisit the ranch again soon!
