Dry Creek Ranch

"Stacy Finz delivers a fantastic tale of cowboys, cattle rustling and the power of love and family in the California gold country." -Kate Pearce, New York Times bestselling author Cash, Jace, and Sawyer. Three rugged cousins. One inherited California ranch. And more surprises than they ever bargained for… Cash Dalton isn't a rancher-he's a former FBI agent haunted by a case gone wrong. The last thing he expects at Dry Creek Ranch is to find out he's the father of a twelve-year-old girl he never knew existed. It's hardly the time for romance, especially not with Aubrey McAlister, the fiery interior designer renting the ranch's cottage. She's guarded and stubborn-and yet impossible to resist. Fresh off a broken engagement, Aubrey is focused on rebuilding her life and ignoring the small-town rumor mill. The brooding ex-agent next door is the last complication she needs. But when Cash's daughter draws them together, Aubrey starts to see a gentler side of him-and wonders if she's ready to take a chance on love again. A heart-tugging, sexy small-town romance about family, second chances, and discovering love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Bailey Hannah and Elsie Silver.

One stormy night. One act of kindness. One chance to change everything. Five hundred acres of gorgeous California land is a life-changer for cousins Cash, Jace, and Sawyer-and a surprising chance for each of them to find a game-changing love . . . Sheriff Jace Dalton doesn't have room for complications. Between raising two lively boys, fighting for reelection, and keeping the family ranch afloat, his days are already worked to the bone. Then he finds Charlotte Holcomb stranded on a back road, her car packed and her eyes shadowed with secrets. Fleeing an abusive relationship, Charlotte has lost nearly everything. She only needs one safe night before moving on-but the warmth of Jace's home, and the unexpected welcome from his children, stir dreams she thought she'd buried forever. As storm clouds gather outside and between them, Jace and Charlotte discover that sometimes love shows up when you least expect it-and that the hardest thing isn't holding on to the past, but daring to trust in the future. Perfect for fans of Bailey Hannah's 'Alive and Wells' and Kate Pearce.
