Colt

There's a fine line between hate and heat, and in a town this small, they're about to cross it . . . Welcome to Double U Ranch from bestselling cowboy romance sensation Jessica Peterson.

He has a list of strict rules.

She's about to break every single one of them.

Lainey Brown is a city girl who landed on the legendary Wallace Ranch to get her career in branding back on track. She's got no interest in cowboys, cattle, or the infuriatingly gorgeous foreman who clearly wants her gone.

Colton Wallace has spent every day since losing his wife building something worth leaving his son. The last thing he needs is a firecracker from Austin with a sketchbook full of big ideas and a smile that makes him long for things he can't keep.

But somewhere between their very first fight and a Texas night sky that stretches on forever, something shifts. Lainey stops counting the days until she can leave. And Colt stops pretending he wants her to.

The ranch has always been the Wallace legacy. But Colt is starting to wonder if the best thing that's ever happened to it - and to him - just walked in wearing city shoes.
