He's a gruff cowboy who thinks he's better off alone… Until he finds a curvy young beauty hiding in his barn. As the oldest Ryder sibling, I'm used to relying on myself. Being free and single is the way I like things, and after watching two of my brothers fall head over heels for their wives, I'm even more certain that marriage isn't for me. I never want to rely on somebody that much. But everything changes when I find a woman hiding in my barn. She's beautiful, curvy, and way too young for me. But she makes my heart pound, and suddenly I'm questioning all my beliefs about love and relationships. After a lifetime alone, is this perfect girl about to change everything? Welcome to Blaze Valley Ranch! This ranch in Crave County is full of grumpy cowboys who are crazy about the curvy women they love. You can expect rugged, hardworking heroes, sassy sunshine heroines, and age gaps galore! Each book in the Crave County universe can be read as a standalone.
