Luke Hardeman’s no stranger to long days. As foreman of the 4,000-acre Wilson Ranch, he’s put in the time and sweat to make the ranch the finest in Colter Canyon. But when Jed Wilson passes away and leaves the property to his granddaughter, city-girl Rachel Wilson, Luke knows it’s time to move on.
He won’t work for a woman.
Especially that woman.
Rachel Wilson might be the prettiest temptation he’s ever seen, but she’s too young, too sassy and as stubborn as the day is long. He wants to protect her and keep her safe, but he’s fighting a losing battle, trying hard to ignore the attraction sizzling inside him. Luke plans to stay until the will is read, and then he plans to pack up, buy his own place and put some distance between him and Rachel.
But it's not that simple. To Luke’s surprise, the will includes him.
Jed’s final wishes bind Luke and Rachel not only to the ranch but to each other…
Opposites attract in this May/December Western romance between a ranch foreman and rancher’s granddaughter.
Luke and Rachel are at odds with one another. Preconceived and assumed notions lead to slightly heated moments that are overshadowed by their physical attraction to one another. Rachel’s youthful beauty draws Luke in like a siren’s song, while Luke’s rugged looks and wisdom-comes-with-age personality pulls Rachel in like a moth to a flame.
Except Luke refuses to take orders from a city girl who knows nothing about ranching, even if that city girl is his boss’s granddaughter. And Rachel knows she can’t run the ranch without Luke, or at least someone who knows ranching like he does. They’re at a crossroad, where the chance to continue on without one another is within reach but do they really want to?
A clause in Rachel’s grandfather’s will forces them to fully acknowledge what lies between them in order to save the ranch. They try to justify their actions with claims that it’s only for a time and it makes sense, but there is no denying the depths their feelings run.
Ms. Gold is a new-to-me author, and this is what I would consider a safe read: no cheating, no other man/other woman drama, no abuse of any kind. It isn’t angsty, complicated, or dark. It’s a feel-good, May/December romance with a slight twist that casts a brighter light on the obvious between the main characters. This is a quick read, lighthearted even, good to have in your to-read list when you need a break from the heavier stuff.
