Western Ranch Romance · Cedar Bend
Till the Last Bale
She came to put up his hay for one July. She wanted him from the first windrow, and she told him so.
Hallie Mattern is twenty-seven. She owns a swather, a big square baler and a two-man crew, and she has hayed half of Cedar Bend for six summers. Garrett Lund is forty-five, alone on his creek-bottom ranch since his marriage ended twenty years ago. He kisses her back at the stackyard fence like a starving man. Then he stops, and tells her no. Eighteen years, and a valley where everybody knows whose truck is parked where after dark.
Then a front comes off the Bridgers with seventy acres of cured hay still on the ground. They bale through the night under the tractor lights, racing the rain. Before dawn, in the hay yard, he stops arguing with himself.
She'll have him until the last bale is stacked. But when the valley starts counting out loud, Hallie learns his arithmetic was never about her. It's his own fear that she'll outgrow him and go.
A high-heat age-gap cowboy romance. Open door, explicit, guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of Maisey Yates and Joanne Kennedy.
