Alive and Wells: A Wells Ranch Novel

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.

Alive and Wells

Bailey Hannah is a new to me author and I found this book while in a slump. This book pulled me right out of said slump! I loved, loved, loved Not-A-Cowboy Austin!

Wow, okay let me just process what I’m gonna say. This book is single handedly the best post DV book I’ve ever read. The FMC is likeable which is rare for me, and let me tell you honey the MMC, wow. I just, wow. I ATE up the chapter where the ex came face to face with the MMC and it honestly was the best confrontation I have ever read. As someone that has been in an abusive relationship and is now happily married to my own Austin Wells (not so much the cowboy though) this felt so good to read from beginning to end. I didn’t wanna put it down and I can’t wait to forget about it in a few months so I can reread it again. Thank you Bailey Hannah 🙌
