She's from a rival family. He's not supposed to like her. Can they make a forbidden romance work? Adeline Cole is not looking for love. She only returns home to add a horse to her therapeutic riding business. Not to see her family for Thanksgiving and definitely not to meet a cowboy whose kiss takes her breath away. Clint Ritchie served in the military for twenty years. He should stand proud upon his return home, but shadows from his past haunt him along with an injury. He aims to help save the family ranch and not get back in the saddle. After a luggage mix up, Adeline convinces Clint to fake a relationship to spare her from having to face her lousy ex. When their stories get tangled, they spend more time together and uncover secrets from the past that might just save the ranch. Sparks fly, but their families have a long-standing feud. Can they find common ground for a future together? This is book 3 in the Richie Ranch Clean Cowboy Romance series. Because of the mystery subplot, the first three books in the series are best read in order for a deeper, richer experience. It is a sweet, small-town, cowboy "clean and wholesome" romance that's Christian faith-friendly without swearing or mature content and contains a happily ever after.
