'Dare I say Duke is the best Rivers brother?' Reader review

'I truly cannot get over how much I LOVE this series' Reader review

One chance meeting on a Texas ranch.
One wild, too-charming cowboy.
One snowed-in night that changes everything.*

**Wheeler Rankin isn't here for romance. She's come to Lucky River Ranch to visit her best friend, wrangle a business deal and prove herself to everyone who's ever doubted her. But when she collides with Duke Rivers - Hartsville's resident heartbreaker, restless cowboy and brother to her best friend's new flame - sparks fly hotter than a Texas summer.

Duke's always dreamed of more than dusty trails and small-town life. He's itching to see the world, but one unforgettable night with Wheeler changes his course. When a blizzard and a business road trip leave them stranded together, their no-strings flirtation ignites into something deeper.

But passion brings complications - and unexpected news threatens to upend everything Wheeler's built. As family pressures, old wounds and new dreams collide, Duke is determined to stand by her side, ready to forge a future neither of them ever imagined.

Can two fiercely independent souls trust in love and find home in each other's arms? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart for good?

Duke is the fourth standalone cowboy romance in the steamy and wildly sexy Lucky River Ranch series by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jessica Peterson**, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.
