Fall With The Rancher

Fall is my busiest season and the only kind of quiet I trust. Sutton Ranch runs on apples, pumpkins, and the harvest festival that carries half of Whisper Vale through winter. I've got cider to press, a corn maze to cut, and a grumpy older brother up the mountain who hasn't come down for anything but supplies in two years.

The last thing I need is the woman who just inherited the orchard next door.

Juniper Ashby is soft curves, a loud laugh, and a stubborn streak aimed at saving a cider house her grandmother let go to ruin. She can't tell a Honeycrisp from a hole in the ground. She scorches her first batch of caramel. And she keeps showing up at my fence line in a flannel three sizes too big, asking questions I don't have time to answer.

So why do I keep answering them?

She thinks she's here for one season. Fix the place up, sell it, get back to the city before the first frost. I think she belongs on this mountain more than she's belonged anywhere in her life.

She calls me stubborn. I call her impossible.

We're both right. And when the nights turn cold and she ends up in my kitchen more than her own, I stop pretending the heat between us has anything to do with the cider on the stove.

One harvest. That's all she promised this town. I'm going to give her a reason to stay for every one that comes after it.

Fall With The Rancher is a warm, steamy small-town romance featuring a stubborn orchard rancher, the sunshine city girl who inherits the land next door, and a Whisper Vale harvest season that ripens into something neither of them can walk away from. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating.
