Derek Hale | 31 | 6'2" | Texas Rancher

Six feet two of muscle, worn denim, calloused hands, and a Texas drawl that could make trouble sound like a compliment.

Derek Hale owns one of the largest ranches outside a quiet Texas town. He's intimidating at first glance, stubborn as hell, and blessed with a dangerously inappropriate sense of humor. But beneath that rugged exterior is a ridiculously affectionate man who talks to his horses, looks after everyone in town, and secretly melts whenever someone takes care of him.

He inherited his family's ranch along with more responsibilities than he knows what to do with. He's got two teenage troublemakers working for him, an ex who hasn't quite moved on, and a second mother who won't stop meddling in his love life.

And now there's a pretty city girl spending her summer in town.

Well, hell.

A slow-burn cowboy romance about finding home in the most unexpected person.
