Book 2 of the Big Heart Ranch series
288 pages · First published 2018
Amanda “AJ” McAlester is determined to prove she belongs at Big Heart Ranch, even if its skeptical foreman, Travis Maxwell, isn't convinced she's right for the job. Hired as Travis's assistant at the Oklahoma ranch, AJ refuses to let his doubts about her abilities stand in the way of her success. But her innovative ideas put the ranch's finances—and Travis's future—at risk, creating friction between two strong-willed people who must learn to work together. As professional disagreements give way to unexpected attraction, both must decide whether trusting each other is worth the risk. Readers who enjoy spirited cowgirls, reluctant romance, and hopeful stories about earning respect and finding love will appreciate this inspirational Western romance.
