Ranch Pass by Gray Gardner

Rustic Inheritance Series - Book One

With an oil company breathing down her neck about land rights for a new pipeline and a nosey neighbor breathing down her neck for entirely different reasons, Harriet Frederickson isn't so sure she'll survive through winter. She knows one thing for certain, though. She has to win, because in Texas, oil might be king, but she is the undisputed ruler of her own life. Well, just so long as she follows her new neighbor's rules, too.

Nelson Childress has just moved to Texas after inheriting one of his late uncle's ranches. When he comes face to face with the cute little neighbor who is pointing a gun at him, he knows she is the one for him. He just has to convince her.

Publisher's Note: This steamy western romance contains a theme of power exchange.
