A single dad rancher and a rich city girl bump heads—and more—in this first cowboy romance in the Griffith Brothers series.

For Christian Griffith, his number one rule is: You ride in my truck, you let me open the door. Another problem in his busy life was the last thing he needed. Unfortunately, argumentative Cassandra Parker showing up on his family's ranch and sticking her nose in their business isn't even his biggest problem—neither is the fact that with nowhere else to live, she's in his house. The biggest problem? The engagement ring on her finger.

Cassandra has a life motto: If you're going to kill someone, make it look like an accident, cry at the funeral, admit to nothing, and deny everything. To be clear, she didn't want to be Christian Griffith's problem. But there she was: exiled from New York, stranded on a cattle ranch, and desperate to salvage what was left of her career.

Living with a single dad and his children was a downgrade from her high-rise office and city comforts, but she agreed to it for one simple reason: to save her job. A hot cowboy wasn't going to lasso her into staying a second longer than necessary.
