Small town, enemies to lovers, alpha cowboy romance with heart-melting family moments!

Jake Thompson doesn’t have time for distractions. Running Thompson Valley Ranch with an iron fist has made him the most successful rancher in the county—and the most intimidating boss around. When Alexandra “Alex” Carter arrives with her twin boys in tow as the bank’s loan officer overseeing their foreclosure notice, Jake’s perfectly controlled world threatens to unravel.

Alex needs this assignment to build a stable life for her sons after escaping a toxic marriage. The last thing she expected was the instant clash with the arrogant, insufferably handsome ranch owner, whose traditional methods are as outdated as his refusal to acknowledge the financial reality threatening his family legacy.

As storms threaten the ranch and foreclosure looms, Jake and Alex find themselves working late nights together, their professional arguments giving way to an attraction neither can deny. When Alex’s sons begin to idolize the stern cowboy who secretly slips them treats and riding lessons, she realizes her heart might be at greater risk than her career.

But Jake’s trust was shattered long ago, and opening up to a ready-made family means exposing vulnerabilities he’s spent years burying beneath his commanding exterior. When Alex’s past threatens their fragile new beginning, Jake must decide if protecting his heart is worth losing the family he never knew he needed.
