Ace of Spades: A Steamy Enemies-to-Lovers Cowboy Romance (Hidden Creek Ranch Book 1)

When rodeo royalty crashes headfirst into the one man who's never been impressed by her crown, sparks aren't the only thing flying in Hidden Creek.

Hailey Sorrels has everything figured out—barrel racing titles, small-town stardom, and a picture-perfect life that everyone envies. Everyone except Weston Langford, champion bronc rider and the most infuriating man on the circuit. He's always seen through her polished exterior, and he's never bothered to hide it. She's spoiled and fake. He's arrogant and impossible. They can't stand each other—until one unguarded moment of unexpected kindness shatters the walls they've both spent years building.

Then Hailey's world implodes. A devastating family secret leaves her with nowhere to turn and no choice but to accept temporary refuge at the last place she ever imagined—Weston's Hidden Creek Ranch. The arrangement is supposed to be strictly practical. Two people who can barely tolerate each other sharing a roof until she gets back on her feet.

But ranches have a way of stripping people down to their truest selves, and the longer Hailey stays, the harder it becomes to remember why she ever wanted to leave. The bickering softens into something dangerous. The tension between them shifts into something undeniable. And Weston, who swore he'd never fall for the girl everyone else already loves, is running out of reasons to keep his distance.

Some rivalries aren't meant to last. Some feelings aren't meant to be ignored.
