Rancher’s Reluctant Daddy

A Grumpy Age Gap Boss Romance

She’s a curvy, sunshine social media manager who’s never been touched.
He’s her grumpy, single-dad cowboy boss—older, off-limits, and one look away from breaking every rule he’s made.

Callie Myers came to Bear Creek Falls to make his Halloween festival go viral.
Six weeks. One contract. No strings.

Then she meets Aden Roy.
Six-foot-four of rough hands, quiet control, and “mine” energy that hits her like a wildfire.
He’s all muscle, discipline, and danger—the kind of man who could ruin a girl with a single touch.

She’s supposed to stay professional.
He’s supposed to keep his distance.
But working side by side turns temptation into obsession.

He calls her Patch. She calls him Boss.
And every glance, every brush of his hand, makes forever feel inevitable.

He’s ready to claim her, protect her, make her his.
She just has to be brave enough to stay.

This is a SHORT, steamy romance intended to be read in under two hours!
