A city girl fleeing an abusive marriage suddenly finds herself working on a cattle ranch with a sexy but grumpy rancher as her boss in this spicy cowboy romance from the author of Seeing Red and Change of Hart. He’s worried she won’t stay. She’s worried she will. City girl Cecily Kennedy never expected to step foot on a cattle ranch, but when her already strained marriage takes a violent turn, a kind friend offers her a job and refuge at Wells Ranch. Ranch life is hard enough without her new boss, Austin Wells, sending mixed signals about whether he wants her or hates her. But Cecily can’t risk getting involved with her grumpy yet alluring employer—she has nowhere else to go, and getting over her ex by getting under Austin isn’t worth the potential fallout. As far as Austin’s concerned, Cecily won’t be sticking around for long. He’s learned the hard way that nobody ever stays, and the indent on her ring finger makes him certain the sexy city gal is no exception. But when Cecily’s troubled past threatens her safe haven, Austin realizes that somewhere between their trail rides and late night talks, she’s branded herself on his heart. He desperately wants her to stay, and whether or not she feels the same, he’ll be damned if he lets anyone or anything hurt her under his watch. Don’t miss any of Bailey Hannah’s steamy Wells Ranch series: ALIVE AND WELLS • SEEING RED • CHANGE OF HART

A very cute cowboy - sorry RANCHER - romance! We love a Canadian story.
Grumpy sunshine, she is running from her abusive ex and winds up on his ranch. He doesn't want to like the “city girl” but she's tough and proves herself.
Light and fluffy but still spicy
God I love Cowboys even not-a-cowboy cowboys!! Austin is such a green flag!!! I also love a found family and especially if it's a group of men protecting the FMC as if she were their sister
I think it's great for a debut novel. The story was cute and the side characters are lovable. What I didn't like: Austin was a dick. I'm not sure if he was a dick because he was attracted to Cecily or if he was just a dick in general. I'm tired of dickish people. Also, there was a lot of comparing ex's to each other. I don't think either of them were ready for a heavy relationship.
