Cash
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.
The series
Tucked away in the wide-open hills of small-town Texas, the Lucky River Ranch series brings together slow-burning desire, second chances, and the kind of emotional intimacy that sneaks up on you like dusk on a summer day. These are stories about love that’s hard-earned—messy, tender, and deeply rooted in a place where family ties run deep and the land remembers everything.
Read full series description
The series orbits around the people who live and work on or around the sprawling Lucky River Ranch—cowboys with complicated pasts, fiercely independent women who aren’t afraid to want more, and the kind of close-knit community where nothing stays secret for long. Each book follows a new couple, but the emotional threads between them weave a shared tapestry of love, healing, and homecoming.
At its core, the series explores the tension between what we’re born into and what we choose—whether that’s a place, a person, or a future we never thought we’d want. There’s a quiet strength to the characters and the land they call home, and the writing leans into that rhythm: steady, heartfelt, and a little bit wild around the edges.
With its blend of Western charm, rich emotional arcs, and deeply satisfying romance, Lucky River Ranch offers readers a front-row seat to stories that feel as lived-in as a favorite flannel shirt and just as comforting. For anyone who loves small-town romance with a rugged soul and a tender heart, this is a series that stays with you.
