Part of The Griffith Brothers
First published 2024
Cassandra Parker finds herself stranded on the Griffith family cattle ranch after her New York life implodes. The city executive needs to salvage her career, but first she must survive living with Christian Griffith, a single father rancher who opens truck doors whether she wants him to or not. Christian follows strict rules about courtesy and family, and Cassandra's interference in ranch business breaks every one of them. She sleeps under his roof with his two daughters nearby, a temporary arrangement that feels anything but temporary. The biggest obstacle between them isn't their clashing worlds of high-rises and cattle. It's the engagement ring Cassandra still wears. She plans to escape back to her corner office as soon as possible. Christian knows better than to get attached to someone whose heart belongs elsewhere. But the longer Cassandra stays, the more the ranch starts feeling like home to both of them.
