My Grumpy Rancher: A Spicy Wyoming Ranch Cowboy Romance

Claire Carson came to Wyoming to sell half a ranch. She did not plan to marry the man who wanted her gone. After losing the New York finance job she built her life around, Claire learns she has inherited fifty percent of Longview Ranch. The other half belongs to Rhett Hayes--a stubborn, overworked rancher who sees her spreadsheets, city shoes, and possible sale as three different threats to everything his family has fought to keep. But Longview is running out of time. Drought, broken equipment, and an emergency loan trapped behind an outrageous "household stability" condition leave Claire and Rhett facing one immediate solution: a one-year marriage of convenience. Claire insists on rules. Separate money. Shared decisions. Her right to build a career of her own. An exit neither of them can weaponize. Rhett agrees because he will do anything to save the ranch. Then one bedroom, late-night budgets, family dinners, and a town that notices everything begin turning their contract into something neither planned. While a developer circles Longview and New York offers Claire a path back, she must decide whether staying will cost her independence--or finally let her build a life on her own terms. And Rhett must learn that loving someone means making decisions with her, not for her. My Grumpy Rancher is a slow-burn, closed-door cowboy romance featuring inherited co-ownership, marriage of convenience, forced proximity, one bed, small-town found family, and a hard-won happily ever after.
