When lightning strikes Amberjack Shores during the worst storm of the season, it leaves more than just a cottage in flames. For the Dalton family and their extended clan, the road to recovery will test bonds old and new.

Determined to rebuild what was lost, Tyler discovers a fishing tournament with a prize that could solve their financial troubles. The only catch? He needs a partner, and the only logical choice is Becca—who has never held a fishing rod in her life. As training sessions blend with house hunting and rebuilding efforts, their undeniable connection grows stronger, even as the universe seems determined to keep them apart.

Meanwhile, Genese finds herself drawn to the gruff restaurant owner everyone else distrusts. Behind his harsh exterior, Mickey shows her a passion for food that ignites her own ambitions. But as she discovers her talent for creating spectacular dishes, she must decide if she’s ready to step out of others’ shadows and finally claim her independence.

With Matt fighting his own battles, Katie building her art career alongside Jake, and Linda bringing everyone together despite her health concerns, the family faces each challenge as they always have—together.

Ranch Enemies by Olivia Kay

Posted August 21, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Modern Western Romance, Sexual Content, Standalone / 0 Comments

He’s the grumpy cowboy foreman.  I’m the city girl who inherited this ranch from my father.

How the hell did we end up almost kissing in the barn?

I didn’t come back to Painted Sky Ranch to fall for the Casanova cowboy who’s been glaring at me since I rolled up in my SUV.

Cash Bennett is all growl, grit, and maddening control.  The same boy who made my life hell in school is now a broad-shouldered man, very good with a rope—and very bad at keeping his hands to himself.

I have one year to stay here or lose my father’s inheritance.  Which means working side-by-side with the one man who doesn’t want me here.

I have to decide between this steaming hot cowboy or going back to the big city.

We fight. We ride. We kiss.

And somewhere between teaching my daughter to ride and defending me at a rodeo, he goes from impossible to irresistible.

Then I uncover the truth about who he really is—and what he’s been hiding from me all along.

Turns out, I inherited more than a ranch.  I inherited the one man with an attitude…. who could take it all… or wreck me for every man after him.

Becca thought she’d finally found her place at Amberjack Shores, the idyllic beachfront inn owned by her former mother-in-law. After years of putting her legal career first, she’s ready to embrace the warmth of family connections and the promise of new beginnings on Florida’s sun-drenched coast.

No one is going to convince her to fall in love again…

Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who’s a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He’s got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life… and the path of an oncoming car.

Ryder doesn’t mind playing the hero for the skittish, scarred chef Penny. Maybe it’s the secrets in her eyes or the scar on her chin. Whatever the reason, he’s compelled to get closer.

Penny’s learned her lesson and now she’s paying the price. That’s why she’s sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother, living off the leftovers from her catering job. It’s a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams… or love… or sex when there’s amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake?

One thing’s for sure, she’s never falling in love again. Not even with the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she’s built.

He says it’s wrong to use me for healing, but I think our chemistry speaks for itself.

Sam wants to protect me from his illness, but I’m a nurse and a single mother. I know what I want. How can we explore love if he’s too defiant to let me in?

Our sensual healing on his canal boat leads to a very special secret. I know I should tell him, but I can’t until the time is right…that is, if it’s ever right.

I think he has enough on his plate, and frankly, so do I.

Scrappy, worldly Kennedy Jenkins and soft-hearted Emma Keil barely know each other, but when life throws them each a curveball, they’re suddenly living together—in a rundown trailer park they’ve inherited from their late father, in a nowhere California town aptly called Ghost. After all, their neighbor, Madam Misty, is a soothsayer-witch, and Halloween is just around the corner.

A casino host, Kennedy, is hiding out from a high roller who wrongly thinks she stole tens of thousands of dollars from him. Emma, a flat-broke advice columnist who can’t take her own advice, has lost her apartment, and her on-again, off-again, commitment-phobic boyfriend, Dex, is no help. Still, she’s charmed by Ghost, its quirky residents—and the enigmatic guy who lives in trailer 510—while Kennedy is sure their father hid a fortune somewhere. She’s determined to find it—even if it means turning to Madam Misty . . .

When Madam Misty grants them three wishes, they’re clear: Kennedy wants money; Emma just wants Dex. But as the nights get chillier, and Halloween descends, a special kind of magic ensues—one that will reveal surprising truths about their father, themselves—and what they really want out of life . . .
