Part of Fool's Gold, book 17
First published 2015
Phoebe Kitzke's generous nature costs her a job in Los Angeles. She promises herself no more favors, but her best friend needs help at the family ranch in Fool's Gold, California. Phoebe heads to the small town where she meets Zane Nicholson, a cowboy who would rather work alone. Zane's brother has forced him into running tourist cattle drives, and now he's stuck with a city woman who knows nothing about ranching. Phoebe's inexperience shows immediately, but her joy wins over even the ranch animals. Zane fights his attraction until one moment breaks his self control and he kisses her. The kiss terrifies him because Phoebe represents everything this loner avoids. For Phoebe, ranch life awakens something she never knew existed. The small town feels more like home than anywhere she's lived. But staying in Fool's Gold means Zane must want her there permanently, and she can't tell if this guarded cowboy will ever risk his heart.
