They were supposed to be rivals. Not lovers. And definitely not caught sneaking back to their campers after a tumble in the hayloft. Brandi Mayfield came to the county fair for one final, intense week to win one last blue ribbon before heading off to college on scholarship. Drew Carter entered determined to prove he could keep his family's ranch afloat. For years, beating each other in the show ring was what mattered most. Until one heated kiss turned into something far more dangerous. Now Brandi's caught between the boy she's loved to hate and Alex Henderson, the safe choice who's suddenly circling back into her orbit. And Drew can't ignore the sparks with Brandi, even while Bonnie Beck keeps clinging to the idea that he's still hers. With gossip running wild, parents already betting on how long it will take for them to admit the obvious, and futures pulling them in opposite directions, Brandi and Drew are forced to ask the hardest question of all: Are they willing to risk everything they've worked for - scholarships, family expectations, the even ranch itself - for a chance at the one prize that really matters? Because at this year's fair, blue ribbons aren't the only thing up for grabs. And sometimes the person pushing you hardest isn't your enemy: they're your perfect match. A standalone small-town romance featuring childhood rivals, forced proximity, family drama, and a love worth more than any blue ribbon. Perfect for fans of heated competition that turns into heated kisses. Tropes: Enemies to lovers - Childhood rivals - Small town romance - Forced proximity - Family drama - First love - Only one bed (sort of) - Jealous ex - Love triangle
