Rory Jones prided herself on the successful life she’d built as a wellness influencer and author—until she walked in on her boyfriend with another woman after a family funeral. Forced to run away to her late great aunt’s ranch in Colorado, Rory’s hoping that fixing up and selling the place will help her find her confidence and inspiration to write again.

But Wyatt Hensley, the grumpy head rancher, isn’t willing to hand over the reins to the job he gave everything up for.

Until one day they strike a deal that might just save both of their careers—help Rory turn the ranch into a wellness retreat, and Wyatt can stay.
