Ranch Enemies by Olivia Kay

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.

Widowed rancher Hayden Weston knows what it means to be responsible for his siblings, his eight-year-old son, and the running of the huge family cattle ranch. Some even call him a stern and grumpy taskmaster, and they’re not exactly wrong. So when Hayden discovers his son reading a storybook instead of doing chores, he calls on Luke’s teacher to talk about priorities.

School teacher Laura Anderson is new to Marietta, Montana, and has never—until now—been reprimanded for encouraging a child to read. It doesn’t help that sweet Luke’s father is the handsome cowboy with the amber eyes that she met in Grey’s Saloon, or that she’s wildly attracted to him.

Sparks keep flying as their paths keep crossing, but Hayden is determined not to give in to his incomprehensible need to have, hold, and protect Laura from any type of harm. He’s the one who’ll hurt her if he lets her stray too close. He’s not ready to admit his feelings or commit to sharing his life with her.

Even if love comes tumbling in.

He left for ambition. She stayed for legacy. Now they’re stuck together with one café, one storm, and a heat that never cooled.

Talulah
I came back to Starlight Cay to save my grandmother’s café—not to fall back into bed with the man who shattered my heart. But Raleigh Draycott isn’t just scouting restaurant space. He’s in my kitchen. In my business. And when the storm hits, he’s in my house too. Now the man who left is everywhere, stirring up old memories, new sparks, and the kind of touch-it-and-it-burns chemistry I swore I’d buried.

Raleigh
Talulah Everhart was never supposed to be part of the pitch. I came here to build the next flagship for my culinary brand: clean lines, investor-friendly, legacy-free. But one glimpse of her café—and her—and I knew we’d been wrong. Now I’m risking everything I’ve built for the one thing I never got right. Her.
