Cash (Deluxe Edition) (Lucky River Ranch, 1)

**The limited deluxe edition features designed edges**

Butting heads leads to knocking boots in this wildly sexy enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, small town cowboy romance by Jessica Peterson.

One year on a Texas ranch.

One angry, ridiculously hot cowboy.

One clause in a will that changes everything.

Mollie Luck has run out of luck. When her estranged father unexpectedly dies, he leaves his massive cattle ranch to her--but not without a catch. To collect her inheritance, city girl Mollie will have to move back to the small-town Texas ranch she left as a child when her parents split and manage it for a full year.

Needing the money to invest in her company, Mollie resigns herself to moving to cowboy country. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

But there's one giant roadblock to her plan: the ranch's grumpy foreman, Cash Rivers. Never mind how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps; he's rude, growly, and wants Mollie gone.

Working side by side in the Texas heat turns into moonlit nights, slow dancing cheek-to-cheek in dusty bars, and moments where the line between hate and hunger gets real blurry.

But Mollie's stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: They may break horses, but they also break hearts.

Cash is the first standalone book in the steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch series, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.

Delicious tropes:

  • Grumpy x sunshine
  • Cowboy x city girl
  • Forced proximity
  • Enemies to lovers vibes
  • Small town charm
  • All the banter!

Cute and easy read. Ending seemed a bit rushed.

All the stars!!!
I’m in my cowboy romance era now thanks to Cash! This book had everything and then some. The hate to love, the banter, the emotional rollercoaster, the bar bathroom, the spice, and Cash’s mustache lives rent free in my head. I laughed and cried and blushed and swooned. Can I move to Lucky River Ranch now?!?!
