Gin and Grudges

By Lauren Parker Rhodes

His family stole her legacy. And grudges don't go easy.

Temperance Archer would rather burn her ranch's flower farm to the ground than make nice with a Wilder. They're a curse on Blackwood Valley-led by the man who cheated her out of her birthright.

Kade Wilder has it all. But, behind closed doors, he is suffocated by the grip of his grandfather's iron fist, including the non-negotiable rule that Kade can't do the one thing he really wants-competitively ride the horses he trains.

When Temperance's chance to get her stud on the map is threatened by an accident, the last person she's willing to accept help from is the one to offer it. And Kade is determined to prove he's nothing like his grandfather.

Each step towards a competition win brings Temperance and Kade closer. But as their self-control frays, and ultimatums are made, they'll need to decide what, and who, they'll risk to keep what they've each spent their lives working for. Even if that means giving up who they want most.

*Content warning: family abuse - historical, off-page but clear what the MMC has lived thorough and that he is working through that trauma. Reading age guide: 16-18+ (this will depend on maturity as the book is intended for adult audiences)
