Emery was never supposed to end up on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, hiding behind a fake name with dirt in her boots and a brooding cowboy for company. But after her exposé took down one of the most powerful CEOs in the country, lying low isn't just smart - it's necessary.
Caleb Sutton wants nothing to do with the chatty city girl who shows up on his family's dying ranch. He's got bills stacking up, a family that's falling apart, and no time for a girl who clearly doesn't know about real hard work.
But the longer Emery stays, the more tangled their lives become. Secrets and unwanted feelings come to light. And just when she starts to feel safe, the past comes back - with an offer that could destroy everything.
Grumpy x sunshine. Fake identity. Small-town charm. And a slow-burn romance that's worth every stolen glance.
