Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this hilariously banter-filled and wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small-town cowboy romance by New York Times bestselling author Jessica Peterson.

One year on a Texas ranch.

One angry, ridiculously hot cowboy.

One clause in a will that changes everything.

Mollie Luck has run out of luck. When her estranged father unexpectedly dies, he leaves his massive cattle ranch to herβ€”but not without a catch. To collect her inheritance, city girl Mollie will have to move back to the small-town Texas ranch she left as a child when her parents split and manage it for a full year.

Needing the money to invest in her company, Mollie resigns herself to moving to cowboy country. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

But there's one giant roadblock to her plan: the ranch's grumpy foreman, Cash Rivers. Never mind how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps or how much the air sizzles between them; he's rude, growly, and seems intent on bickering Mollie right back out of town.

Even when working side by side in the Texas heat turns into moonlit nights, slow dancing cheek-to-cheek in dusty bars, and moments where the line between hate and hunger gets real blurry.

But Mollie's stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: They may break horses, but they also break hearts.

Cash is the first standalone book in the steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch series, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage, and Lucy Score.

Delicious tropes:

  • Grumpy x sunshine
  • Cowboy x city girl
  • Forced proximity
  • Enemies to lovers vibes
  • Small town charm
  • All the banter!

Readers are buzzing:

"Masterfully balanced the sweet and steamy moments...a captivating cowboy romance that left me breathless." β€” Goodreads

"To any Chestnut Springs fans out there: READ THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!" β€” Goodreads

"I found a new favourite author. I was hooked from the first page." β€” Bookworm

"Jessica has set us up with a family of sexy cowboys, and Cash has me feral!" β€” Spines and ReadWine

About the Author

Jessica Peterson writes romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are her specialty. When she's not writing, she can be found bellying up to a bar in the south's best restaurants with her husband, Ben, reading books with her adorable daughter Gracie, or snuggling up with her 70-pound lap dog, Martha. A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, NC.
