Book Description
While battling to save his family’s ranch, Baker finds himself falling for a man as unrestrained as the Oklahoma winds.
For as long as he can recall, Baker Bastian has been the backbone of Bastian Acres Ranch. He’s carried a heavy load, trying to keep his family legacy from being swallowed by corporate farming while dealing with a messy divorce, a fondness for the bottle, and a grandmother with a trigger finger.
Now, with his father’s death, the ranch deed is to be split between Baker and three half-brothers he never wanted to know. Chaos reigns, forcing Baker to open the ranch gates to strangers in hopes of saving it.
Enter Hanley Welsh, a world-renowned wildlife photographer whose arrival changes everything.
Will this lonesome cowboy find love and a new beginning?
My Review
Baker Bastian is doing everything he can to keep his family’s cattle ranch afloat—no easy feat when three unexpected stepbrothers, financial troubles, and a chaos-loving grandmother with a shotgun are all in the mix.
Just when he’s running out of options, Hanley Welsh arrives. Rugged, charming, and with a smile that could warm the coldest heart, Hanley shakes Baker’s world in all the right ways.
Between unpredictable ranch antics, stolen glances, and heartfelt conversations, Baker and Hanley slowly build trust, laughter, and love. Together, they just might find a way to pull Baker out of his slump—and give the ranch, and his heart, a fighting chance.
A heartfelt, funny, and deeply romantic read. Perfect for anyone who loves grumpy/sunshine cowboys, found family chaos, and a picture-perfect happy ending.
