About this book
When Penny discovers she's got a secret father and a sprawling Montana ranch waiting for her, she seizes the chance to escape her overbearing mother and start fresh in Barlow. What she doesn't expect is the instant connection with two ruggedly charming cowboys who seem absolutely determined to keep her in their lives—and their hearts. Penny's sharp wit and independent spirit meet their protective devotion in a way that feels almost fated, and suddenly she's wondering if escaping to Montana might lead her exactly where she belongs. This Steele Ranch romance proves that sometimes the best families are the ones you choose—or the ones who choose you first.

Sultry country-pop with raw indie passion. Sensual R&B grooves meet twangy guitar heat. Think dusty roads, protective devotion, and electric chemistry. Steamy, confident, and alive with want. Artists like Colter Wall, Orla Gartland, and Daniel Caesar fuel this intoxicating small-town romance.
