Me + All Your Reasons

Camryn Holtren didn't run from home - she ran to the only place that ever felt like a true home.

With too much family pressure and too few people who truly see her, she packs up her truck and heads west, trading a perfect image for worn-out boots and wide-open skies. She doesn't know exactly what job her Uncle lined up for her, but when she arrives at the Thompson Ranch in Antler Lake, she knows she's right where she's meant to be - even if she has to prove herself every single day. Especially when she gets hired to work at the Pierce Ranch for some time.

Gunnar Pierce doesn't need a hand. He needs everything to stop falling apart. He's been holding the ranch together with duct tape and stubbornness, taking on too much and saying too little. The last thing he expects is a temporary hire showing up in the form of a sharp-tongued woman who looks like trouble and works like hell. She's not what he was expecting - and that's exactly the problem. They butt heads. They avoid feelings. They get under each other's skin.

But somewhere between sunrise coffees, broken fences, and late-night moments they weren't planning, something starts to shift. He doesn't want to need anyone. She swore she wouldn't get attached. But in a place like Antler Lake, love has a way of sneaking up on you - and giving you every reason to stay.
