About Red Hot Rancher:

Full-time fireman and part-time rancher Caleb is living the bachelor’s dream and staying rent-free in his best friend’s place. Too bad it’s because he lost his house to a tornado and his best friend’s sister is the one that got away. At least she doesn’t visit often—the last thing he needs is to show her she was right about him: he’s going nowhere fast. But when her cheating fiancé kicks her out, she has no place to go except her brother’s suddenly too-crowded ranch house. After a streak of bad decisions, Brigit has to slink back home to nurse her wounds and find a job. To complete her humiliation, there’s no way she can avoid the first love she walked away from years ago—because he’s sleeping on the other side of her wall. At least it’s only a matter of time before she’s gone again. After all, there’s nothing in this town for her but bullies and cow patties…except a fireman in cowboy boots who melts her heart and makes her consider love again. He’s not leaving. She’s not staying. If the reason they can’t be together is so simple, why is it so hard to remember?

Excerpt:

In her mental state, she hadn’t put the two together. Her brother Justin was coming to grab her things and store them in the shop at his place. And while she knew Caleb was staying with Justin until he could finance the build of a new house, she hadn’t paired that information with the fact that she’d be moving in with Justin until she found a job. She’d be living under the same roof as the one man she’d been avoiding. A shadow crossed Caleb’s face. “Don’t worry. The house is big enough that I won’t bother you.” He stalked past her, his jaw tight. She scrubbed her face with her hands. Had she looked that upset at the prospect? She was, but she hadn’t meant to hurt his feelings, and not just because he planned to haul all her quality-built furniture. He’d lost his grandmother’s hundred-year-old house in a tornado. He literally had no home, but he still had a ranch to run and a full-time job. She had poor taste in men and had stupidly given Oliver too much control over their finances. The only smart thing she’d done was go to that coffee shop and eavesdrop on him. Otherwise, this might have been her life, only getting divorced with nothing to her name but a china hutch she’d never wanted to buy. But it’s a statement piece. Mom had loved it and she’d been buying, so Brigit had acquiesced. The guys disappeared into her bedroom. A flush ran up her neck to her cheeks. Caleb was in her bedroom again, only under tragically different circumstances. At least she’d gotten up early and stripped the bedding, tossing the mattress cover. She was keeping the bed—she wasn’t trashing a pillow-top king-sized bed just because Oliver was a douche. Her eyes burned with the threat of tears as she scanned her furniture. A living room set, dining room set, bedroom set, artwork, decor. All of it sturdy, none of it made from particleboard. Each piece was large and heavy. Good thing the house was old and small and she hadn’t furnished the basement. Her shoulders sagged as a wave of fatigue washed over her. Between all the crying and the late-night packing, exhaustion was her best friend. How convenient that spot was open, since she’d been glued to Oliver’s damn side for the last three years. She no longer had a bestie. And that was the real reason she hadn’t had anyone to call but Justin. She was alone, except for her two new roommates: her brother—and the ex-boyfriend no one knew she’d ever dated.
