Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson. Mollie Luck and her dad have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it‘s no surprise she inherits his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires her to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before she can access the inheritance money. Mollie hasn‘t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since her parents split when she was six. Now a city girl through and through, she never imagined having to move back to cowboy country but she needs the money to invest in her company. There‘s just one giant roadblock to her plan: the ranch‘s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. Mollie doesn‘t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He‘s rude, he‘s growly, and he wants her gone. She‘d fire him in a heartbeat, but she needs this cowboy to teach her the ropes of running a ranch. As it 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 Mollie starts to fall in love with life on the ranch... and maybe with Cash, too. But her 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 Mollie‘s...
