She's a Dixon. A good girl. The mayor's daughter. I'm a Redford. A bull rider with a criminal record. And if our family rivalry wasn't enough, Rosie Dixon is my little brother's ex. Off-limits. When I'm released early from the prison her father put me in for shedding Dixon blood, seeing her working on my family's ranch is the opposite of a welcome home. Her father is determined to ruin us. I want her gone almost as much as I want her body. But I have a strong suspicion that the only reason she's here is to spy on me, and I've learned to keep my enemies close. Even so, finding her in my bed in the middle of the night is a shock. But when she's beside me, the nightmares don't come. And there's no better revenge I can extract from Mayor Dixon than stealing his daughter's heart. All I have to do is guard mine. Book one in the Redford Ranch series is a standalone western romantic suspense story in an interconnected series. Trigger warnings: discussion of attempted rape (not on page), kidnapping, family violence, depictions of murder and violence, explicit consensual sexual content, depictions of PTSD. REVIEWS: "Y'all, this is a fantastic series opener, and I'm head over heels for these characters. Rosie is a red-headed domestic goddess who has been nursing a secret infatuation with irreverent, & naughty bull rider Holden for years. Not only is he the older brother to her best friend (.....AND ex-boyfriend), he's also persona non grata with her Mayor father following a tragic incident which wrongfully landed Holden behind bars. Upon his release, these two skirt around each other like skittish foals on the family ranch. Their relationship packs heat, chemistry, and desire which makes this slow-burn romantic suspense story so satisfying. " -Amber, Goodreads "I think I probably thought to myself "the plot thickens" about 50 times during this read. It kept getting deeper and darker and more complex with every chapter. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time wondering who was gonna say or do what next. The drama doesn't quit. The spice is HOT and Holden is my new book boyfriend. Do not miss this release!" -Mackenzie, Goodreads "Holden is a man whose demons have grabbed ahold of him. He saved his sister one night and ended up in prison. Rosie is sunshine mixed with a bit of hurricane (thanks Like Combs) and is working for Holden's family. Rosie is best friend's with Holden's sister, Dolly. Holden can't fathom why Rosie is working for his family, and he thinks she's spying on their family to run and tell their secrets to her Dad, Mayor Dixon. One of my favorite parts of the book? Holden cannot escape his demons at night, so Rosie sleeps in bed with him. I loved the Small town/suspense feel of this book. I read it in a day and a half. I loved that I couldn't figure out certain aspects of the book and what direction MJ was going for and that really made this a five star read for me. It wasn't predictable and I really loved it! I can't wait to read the next books in the series." -Julia, Goodreads "Read this book so fast! I was so stuck on it that it was all I wanted to do. Rosie and Holden's relationship is so captivating. If you love a good book with enemies to lovers, love triangle between two brothers, and falling for the best friends brother, I recommend this one!" -Andrea, Goodreads
