City girl finds love with a country boy?
That only happens in the movies.
Or at least that’s what single mom Ronnie tells herself when she sees the hunky cowboy on her aunt’s farm. It's fine to take the occasional peek at his broad shoulders and irresistible grin, but no way is she interested in getting to know him. Why bother? She’s only in town for a couple of months, and with one giant heartbreak already hanging over her head, she has no desire to open herself up for another one.
Noah is in complete agreement. Love doesn’t have a place in his life, not after his disastrous relationship history. Even if it did, he wouldn’t choose Ronnie, who clearly thinks she’s too good for small-town life.
But something about Harvest Ranch puts Ronnie off her game, and she can’t seem to stop making a fool of herself around Noah—who is turning out to be a nice guy, darn it!
Will Harvest Ranch work its magic and help these two opposites find love? Or will Ronnie leave her heart behind in this small town?
If you love the first flowers of spring, the sunlight dancing off rain drops, and a warm breeze brushing across your skin, then you'll love Harvest Ranch in the springtime.

Part of the Billionaire Bachelor Cove series. ♥♥
Billionaire next-door neighbors Mary Alice Howe and Ryland Neilson have mothers who are lifelong best friends. But throwing their children together for everything from Camelot Cruise birthday parties to cotillion classes has ensured a close friendship, not the hoped-for romance.
Excited to become the newest CEO of his father's company, Ryland takes a risk that just might ruin the company. Taking a chance on a relationship with his best friend Mary Alice, however, seems even more foolish. Sure, he’s had a slight crush on her for a while now, but they can’t get their timing right to give a romantic relationship a shot.
Already unsure what she wants to do with her career and her relationship with pro soccer player Camden Sharpe, adding new and thrilling feelings for her best friend causes Mary Alice’s world to spin upside-down.

Ryland may look like the part of the handsome prince—tall, dark, and gorgeous—but can a woman be swept off her feet by someone she shared orthodontist appointments with?
When a personal ad brings the two together, they realize that maybe they don’t actually know everything about each other. Discovering new sides to their personalities adds a surprising layer to their relationship. Yet when old expectations arise, they’ll have to decide if it’s better to stay in the safety of the friend-zone or jump down the rabbit hole of the unknown and risk everything for love.
♥♥ Inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this full-length sweet/clean contemporary billionaire romance is similar to your favorite Hallmark movie and will bring a smile to your day! ♥♥

That is if she doesn't throttle him first.
But she has bigger fish to fry than him—like bringing to justice the man who robbed her cousins and a bunch of other people in town of millions of dollars. She may feel a little guilty for vouching for the guy; guilty enough to sidle up to his charming brother for answers to his whereabouts.
Alexander Young wants to finally prove that he's more than the handsome face on the big screen, and this new land deal in Harvest Ranch is the perfect way to do it.

Not that it matters, he's not here for the girl. If only he hadn’t tried to kiss her within minutes of meeting her . . . maybe then she wouldn’t loathe him. Besides she’s more interested in the one man Alex hates more than anything.
An enemies to lovers romance that will have you laughing out loud and reading past your bed time.
