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!

Meditations on time, motherhood, and the ordinary beauty of everyday life Like a newborn’s patterns of sleeping and waking, the revelations of motherhood don’t follow a reasonable schedule, and there’s no clocking out. Organized around the hours of the day, Foxes for Everybody gives voice to the marvels, fears, absurdities, and astonishments of parenthood. These essays offer twenty-four glimpses into how we experience time, our families, our planet, and all of those small moments that aren’t small at all. In memories and reflections that weave through tornadoes and jellyfish, cemeteries and carousels, mortality, mental health, and the exquisite gift of a perfect sentence, acclaimed writer Catherine Pierce reminds us that fear and joy can and do live side by side, and urges us to stay awake—even when, especially when, we’re at the brink of exhaustion—to the possibility of wonder.
