Lucky River Ranch

Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson. Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup-a cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokin' hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice. He's exactly what I'm looking for. If only Wyatt wasn't also my best friend… I'm back in my hometown of Harstville, Texas for a few months while I wait for my dream job to start thousands of miles away. While I'm here, I hope to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer. Wyatt and I have been best friends since second grade, and I've been in love with him for almost as long. But he's as wild and untamed as a colt that can't be broken-not to mention, totally out of my league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation. Then I get to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn't he teach me the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting suddenly leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real…well, everything else. And let me just say, the rumors are absolutely true. Now, I want so badly to be Wyatt's last rodeo. But I'm leaving town, and even if I wasn't, I'm not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways. I know cowboys can't be tamed. Apparently, neither can hearts… Wyatt is an interconnected standalone novel in the Lucky River Ranch series.

My dad and I have been estranged for years, but as his only living relative, it's no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will that requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money. I haven't stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. There's just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch's foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don't care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He's rude, he's growly, and he wants me gone. I'd fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch. We're enemies from the get-go. But it turns out Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He's got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let's just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too. But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn't already lassoed mine… Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small-town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson. Cash is the first standalone book in the steamy interconnected Lucky River Ranch series.
