Reiz Hall, an ambitious undergrad studying Renaissance Literature at Oxford University, has no time for distractions. Her life is a whirlwind of exams, papers, and barely a moment to spare for her family. But there's one thing that consistently breaks her focus: her roommate's infuriatingly perfect boyfriend, Lucius Black.

Lucius, a platinum-haired, too-hot-for-his-own-good surgeon, is everything Reiz doesn't want. His smug grin, arrogant confidence, and distracting presence are like nails on a chalkboard. As far as she's concerned, he's nothing but a gorgeous pain in the ass. He thinks she's a smart-mouthed, fiery little pixie-and he's not wrong.

But trouble looms when Reiz notices the way his eyes follow her. That spark of interest that lies beneath his infuriating indifference. What begins as a game of verbal sparring soon spirals into something much more dangerous-a battle of wills that neither can seem to stop.

The tension between them simmers, thick with unspoken desire and resentful attraction. Neither is willing to back down, but how long can they keep provoking each other before one of them breaks?

In the game of hate and attraction, the stakes are higher than either can anticipate-because when these two collide, it's not just pride on the line. It's everything they didn't see coming.

Western Heat by MustangSabby
40 parts Complete Mature
A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad Available In bookstores now! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790665/western-heat-by-caroline-richardson/9781998341375/ Watty's Shortlist - 2021 Cover designed by Nora Inla
