Snowed In at the Ranch
A high-powered city planner. A broken rodeo cowboy. One historic blizzard that changes everything.
City event planner Claire Hall lives her life down to the five-minute mark. Driven by a childhood trauma of losing her home to debt, she manages chaos for a living and keeps her heart safely locked behind spreadsheets and polished corporate armor. So when her late, eccentric Uncle Jasper leaves her Silver Creek Ranch, a failing 2,000-acre property drowning in three hundred thousand dollars of back taxes, Claire flies to Montana for a quick three-day trip. Her plan? Inspect the land, sign the buyout papers for a luxury corporate resort, and catch the next flight back to Chicago.
Then she meets Ethan Montgomery.
A former champion bronc rider whose rodeo career and identity were shattered in a brutal Calgary bull wreck, Ethan has spent three years hiding from the world in the Bitterroot Valley. Silver Creek is his sanctuary, the only place that gave him a second chance when he was broken. He's spent his own savings keeping the ranch afloat, and he'll be damned if he lets some high-heeled city executive sell Jasper's legacy to turn it into a golf course.
When a category-four arctic blizzard slams into the valley, trapping them together in an old timber homestead without power, water, or cell service, their furious clash of wills becomes a fight for pure survival.
Forced to consolidate heat in front of a single hearth, Claire and Ethan are stripped of their defenses. Between rescuing horses in knee-deep whiteouts, fixing burst water pipes, and popping dislocated joints back into place in the firelight, the prickly animosity between them turns into a scorching, undeniable heat. And when Claire uncovers a stack of Uncle Jasper's unsent letters, she discovers a shocking truth: her uncle didn't leave her the ranch by mistake. He bound Claire and Ethan together in a joint trust, forcing two broken people to face the exact same fear that they are running away from building a real life.
As the mountain pass clears and corporate buyers arrive with a nine-hundred-thousand-dollar check, Claire faces an agonizing choice: return to the polished, predictable city life she's always known, or risk everything on a failing ranch, a wild dream, and the stubborn cowboy who cracked her heart wide open.
Packed with sizzling grumpy-versus-sunshine chemistry, heartwarming second chances, deep emotional healing, and atmospheric forced-proximity heat, Snowed In at the Ranch is an unputdownable winter romance that will make you fall in love with the Bitterroot Valley.
Will Claire sign away the ranch, or will she plant her boots in the Montana snow and build a home forever? Pick up your copy today to experience the full, breathless story
