Red River Ranch Books

50 Shades meets Heartland in this funny and steamy Enemies to Lovers novel by international bestselling author Lana Stone. June Farley: Years ago, I left Merryville in a hurry to protect my broken heart. I drowned my sorrows in work until I became New York's most successful interior designer. Today, I'm back and I'm running into the man I never wanted to see again. John Key. He makes me a job offer I can't refuse. I hate him for seeing through me. I hate him for being irresistible. I hate him for the fact that I still love him. And I hate him for figuring out bit by bit why I'm here. John Key: Years ago, the love of my life moved to New York and took my heart with her. Today she's back in Texas, but she still has my heart. She acts like she hates me. But I've long since seen behind her façade. She still finds me irresistible. She still loves me. She's mine. I know that for a fact. And I'll make sure she knows it too. Red River is a spin-off of the popular Billionaires of New York series, which tells the story of the Keys family in Texas. Each book is about a different couple and you shouldn't read this series if you don't want a lot of spice in your chili con carne, because there is more than one use for the lasso and the riding crop on this ranch.

Anyone can love during good times. But only those who hold onto love during difficult times truly love. Clay: Elena isn't just mouthy and ill-mannered, she also stirs feelings in me that she'd better not know about. I've warned her about me, but she won't listen. I swear, one more provocative look and I'll put her over my knee! I actually moved to Merryville to find some peace, but I didn't count on Elena Key. Elli: There are three things you can count on. Cats always land on their feet, it never snows in Merryville, even in winter, and I've never lost a heated argument. At least until Clay Kennedy, the rodeo legend, shows up in Merryville and leaves me speechless. He's an emotionally cold, arrogant iceberg, no doubt, but the dark glint in his eyes is so alluring that I ignore all his warnings and accept an offer that might not be good for me. Elli Key should have her hands full participating in the Wild Horse Competition , but when Clay Kennedy suddenly appears, all her thoughts revolve around the taciturn cowboy with the brooding gaze. Elli and Clay collide at their first encounter, and sparks immediately fly between them. In fact, the sparks fly so intensely that neither wants to admit that they've ignited something uncontrollable. That is, until Clay realizes that Elli maneuvers herself into trouble more often than is good for her, and he sees no other way out than to protect her himself.

He's charming and domineering, outwardly a golden boy, but haunted by a dark secret. She's young, reckless, and eager to push her boundaries. Caleb: I'm a champion, and my reputation means everything to me. That is, until Faye shows up and turns everything upside down. Despite my aloofness, she manages to touch my heart. Faye has no idea what she's gotten herself into. But she will, especially when I show her my dark side! Faye: Two months ago, I was a rising star in the country music scene. Now I'm running from my feelings. That is, until I meet the grumpy cowboy who turns my head from the very first moment. Caleb stirs feelings in me that I shouldn't have. At the same time, his domineering nature is so fascinating that I can't resist it. When Faye Fanning gets stranded in Merryville during her travels, she has no idea that her stay will last much longer than planned. It's none other than the cynical tournament champion Caleb Key, who's in town for the upcoming Merryville Summer Derby, who takes her in. Faye finds him unapproachable and far too cynical, yet her stomach flutters whenever he looks at her with those brooding eyes. Caleb finds her too optimistic and far too innocent, yet he can barely control himself. Sparks fly from the very first second, and when Caleb unexpectedly has to train Faye for the derby, things explode dramatically.
