Description
One chance meeting on a Texas ranch.
One wild, too-charming cowboy.
One snowed-in night that changes everything.
Wheeler Rankin isn't here for romance. She's come to Lucky River Ranch to visit her best friend, wrangle a business deal and prove herself to everyone who's ever doubted her. But when she collides with Duke Rivers - Hartsville's resident heartbreaker, restless cowboy and brother to her best friend's new flame - sparks fly hotter than a Texas summer.
Duke's always dreamed of more than dusty trails and small-town life. He's itching to see the world, but one unforgettable night with Wheeler changes his course. When a blizzard and a business road trip leave them stranded together, their no-strings flirtation ignites into something deeper.
But passion brings complications - and unexpected news threatens to upend everything Wheeler's built. As family pressures, old wounds and new dreams collide, Duke is determined to stand by her side, ready to forge a future neither of them ever imagined.
Can two fiercely independent souls trust in love and find home in each other's arms? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart for good?
Duke is the fourth standalone cowboy romance in the steamy and wildly sexy Lucky River Ranch series by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jessica Peterson, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.

Person
Jessica Peterson writes romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are her specialty. When she's not writing, she can be found bellying up to a bar in the South's best restaurants with her husband, Ben, reading books with her adorable daughters, Gracie and Madeline, or snuggling up with her seventy-pound lapdog, Martha. A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
