My Rival Rancher: A Rivals to Lovers Western Cowboy Romance

Her family taught her never to trust an Easton. The drought may not give her a choice. Brielle Hayes has spent her life proving she belongs on Longview Ranch - running mornings like a general, fixing trouble before anyone else sees it, and carrying more responsibility than she will admit. Jude Easton owns the neighboring spread, Coyote Run. He is calm when she wants to fight, competent when she wants to dismiss him, and the last man a Hayes should ever want. Then Silver Creek hits Level Three water restrictions. Feed prices climb, pastures fail, and the bank delivers an ultimatum: form a cooperative grazing and water-sharing plan or risk losing critical acreage to the developer circling both ranches. Now Brielle and Jude are forced to share fence lines, schedules, inspections, and late-night emergencies. The town watches. Old grudges sharpen every argument. And the attraction neither of them wants becomes impossible to ignore. But when sabotage targets the co-op strip, their feud becomes a weapon someone else can use. If they cannot trust each other, both ranches could fall. If they do, they may have to build a future their families never imagined. My Rival Rancher is a spicy, open-door, rivals-to-lovers cowboy romance with feuding families, forced partnership, a tough rancher heroine, a calm competent hero, small-town pressure, and a hard-won happily ever after.
