Wells Ranch

The last place city girl Cecily Kennedy expected to end up was a cattle ranch. But she needs a job-and refuge from her abusive soon-to-be ex-husband. If only her new boss, Austin Wells, would make it clear whether he hates her or wants her. His gaze makes her feel things she hasn't in years. However, getting over her ex by getting under her grumpy boss isn't worth the potential fallout. Austin's a gruff, no-nonsense rancher who's seriously regretting letting his head cook hire her own help. As far as he's concerned, Cecily won't be sticking around for long. Nobody ever stays. And the wedding ring indent still on her finger makes her more trouble than she's worth. When Cecily's past catches up with her, Austin discovers that she's already placed a branding iron on his heart. He wants her to stay. First, he needs to keep her safe. Intended for mature listeners.

All Cassidy Bowman wants is one night of recklessness… and to get back at her ex. Cassidy has strict rules: she doesn't date locals, she doesn't sleep with men she isn't dating, and she doesn't do anything that might jeopardize her good-girl reputation. But after a run-in with her ex-boyfriend-and a few too many drinks-she's ready to buck those rules and get revenge. Local cowboy, Chase "Red" Thompson, has never met a rule he didn't love breaking. With a tarnished reputation, brash attitude, and decades-long crush on Cassidy, he's more than willing to go along with her plan: one night together that they'll never talk about again. Until two pink lines threaten Cassidy's rule book, and both of their reputations. She doesn't want a relationship with the rough-and-tumble cowboy. And he knows he's not good enough for Wells Canyon's sweetheart, anyway. Being nothing more than friends and co-parents should be easy, but lines blur and rules… well, sometimes they're worth breaking.
