Rivals-to-lovers. Forbidden romance. Small-town magic. The Queen of Cowboy Romance is back . . . Welcome to Emerald Lake. This edition has three pieces of stunning black and white artwork throughout. Professional bull rider Emmett Bush is not looking for love - he's looking for a paycheck to save his family's farm from bankruptcy. So, when he agrees to be the leading man on a hot new reality dating show, Romance Ranch, he's already decided it's all one big performance. Until Julia Silva walks onto his property. Smart, snarky, beautiful, and off-limits in more ways than one. As the location consultant on set and the little sister of his most bitter professional rival, Theo, she's the last woman who should pique his interest. Julia has been warned about Emmett. She knows better than to fall for his cocky swagger, broad shoulders, and smoldering good looks. But when mutual distaste grows into an unexpected connection and then . . . something more, they find themselves searching for excuses to spend time together out of the cameras' reach. Knowing glances. Stolen kisses. Secret rendezvous. Emmett signed up to play the role of an eligible bachelor searching for the one. His family's land and legacy depend on him completing the show. The problem is, he's fallen in love. Just not with a contestant.
