Wild At Heart (Simply The Best)
96 pages
A dusty, tension-filled ranch romance where sparks fly between two stubborn souls forced to share a legacy.
What it feels like
This classic contemporary romance delivers a dusty, emotionally charged atmosphere where the heat of the sun is matched only by the friction between its leads. The narrative moves at a brisk pace, driven by the intense, defensive energy of a misunderstood heroine and a stubborn hero forced into close quarters. It feels like a quintessential vintage ranch romance—earnest, passionate, and unapologetically focused on the push-and-pull of enemies turning into lovers. The prose is direct and dialogue-heavy, stripping away excess to focus entirely on the emotional sparks and shifting prejudices. It is a perfect, satisfying read for anyone who loves the trope of two wary, wild-hearted people slowly dismantling each other's walls to find a place they truly belong.

About the book
The prodigal daughter?
All her life Rio had been considered wild, from the wrong kind of family. Only one man had shown any faith in her--Kane Langtry's father. But it wasn't a case of like father, like son. Kane respected his father's wishes when he left Rio half the family ranch--but he didn't respect Rio....
Living with her was driving Kane crazy.... Except he was starting to realize that he didn't hate her--he wanted her! They had so much in common. Both wary of love, but both passionate and wild at heart. Kane wasn't sure he could tame Rio, but suddenly he desperately wanted to try!
