Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson. Mollie Luck and her dad have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it''s no surprise she inherits his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires her to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before she can access the inheritance money. Mollie hasn''t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since her parents split when she was six. Now a city girl through and through, she never imagined having to move back to cowboy country but she needs the money to invest in her company. There''s just one giant roadblock to her plan: the ranch''s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. Mollie doesn''t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He''s rude, he''s growly, and he wants her gone. She''d fire him in a heartbeat, but she needs this cowboy to teach her the ropes of running a ranch. As it turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He''s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let''s just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that Mollie starts to fall in love with life on the ranch... and maybe with Cash, too. But her stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn''t already lassoed Mollie''s...

Butting heads leads to knocking boots for city girl Mollie Luck and grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. .** .

Mollie desperately needs new investment to keep her beloved cowboy boot company afloat, when she suddenly inherits her estranged father's sprawling cattle ranch. The catch? Live on the ranch and successfully manage it for a year before she can access her inheritance.

Mollie can handle moving back to cowboy country but there's one giant roadblock to her plan: the ranch's gruff foreman, Cash Rivers. Never mind how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps; he's rude, growly, and wants Mollie gone. She'd fire him in a heartbeat, but she needs Cash and his strong hands to teach her the ropes.

Forced to work together, Mollie and Cash are soon having late-night conversations beneath the stars and dancing cheek-to-cheek at the local dive bar. To her surprise, Mollie finds herself falling in love with ranch life . . . and maybe with a certain handsome cowboy, too.

But with her company and everything she knows back in the city, Mollie never meant to stay forever. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts.

**Cash is the first book in the sizzling and utterly addictive Lucky River Ranch small-town cowboy romance series by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jessica Peterson, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.
