The incompetent owner's financial insecurity comes to light when the bar is foreclosed on without warning and sold at auction, leaving her beloved second-home in the hands of Logan Somerset, the handsome stranger determined to ruin everything she's built. Or is he? Hard to say, since Reese won't stop running. From betrayal, from fear, from feeling anything within the wall of anger she hides behind. She can never get hurt if she never lets anyone in. Right?

Love At Lazy Duke's - An enemies to lovers, cowboy romance.
LOVE AT LAZY DUKES is live and ready to steal your heart (and maybe throw a punch or two first). She's a wild barrel racer with fire in her eyes. He's the grumpy cowboy who runs the local bar. Their history? Complicated. Their chemistry? Unavoidable. When Montana rolls back into town, the last thing she wants is trouble-especially not the kind that looks like Abe Duke. But sparks fly, tempers flare, and love might just be the biggest rodeo of them all. If you love small towns, slow burns, banter that bites, and cowboys who fall hard, this one's for you.

Abe's broody, built like sin, and owns the one bar she swore she'd never step foot in again. Too bad sparks fly hotter than a summer bonfire the second they're in the same room. Enemies? Absolutely. Lovers? Eventually. Trouble? Oh, definitely. Dirty looks turn to dirty thoughts in this steamy small-town standoff. He's all grit. She's all fire. Together? They're combustible.

But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for.
