Forced Proximity, City Girl and Rancher, One Bed
Holden
The rodeo brings everyone to Sagebrush Creek, even big-city influencers. So I’m not surprised when Zara Platt shows up to see her sister Priya wearing tiny shorts and high heels. She’s talking hashtags and lighting like she’s producing a reality show… I figure she won’t last a day.
Zara has a million followers, even more money, and a mouth that never stops. But the longer she’s here, the harder it is to pretend I don’t notice her curves make me ache for more. Then the storm hits. It’s flash floods, no power, and one dry bed between us. And suddenly, this high-maintenance, big-hearted firecracker might be exactly what I didn’t know I needed.

This trip was supposed to be a quick visit. A few days with my sister in small-town Texas, then back to the stadium lights and social media campaigns of the Southern Knights football team. But Holden Kingridge has other plans. He’s also got strong arms, stormy eyes, and an accidental habit of making me feel seen. He’s quiet, rough around the edges, and doesn’t have a clue how charming he really is. He thinks I don’t belong here, but I’ve never fit anywhere as easily as I do at Kingridge Ranch. Especially with him. Now we’re sharing a room, a bed, and a connection I didn’t see coming.
But when the storm clears, will love be enough to make me stay?
The Kingridge brothers are ranching royalty. But even money, power, and influence can’t buy you love.
