A Muscogee pop star and a cowboy who couldn’t be more different come together to strike a deal in this new romantic comedy by Danica Nava, USA Today bestselling author of The Truth According to Ember.

Pop singer Avery Fox has become a national joke after posing scantily clad on the cover of Rolling Stone in a feather warbonnet. What was meant to be a statement of her success as a Native American singer has turned her into a social pariah and dubbed her a fake. With threats coming from every direction and her career at a standstill, she escapes to her estranged grandmother Lottie’s ranch in Oklahoma. Living on the rez is new to Avery—not only does she have to work in the blazing summer heat to earn her keep, but the man who runs Lottie’s horse ranch despises her and wants her gone.

Red Fox Ranch has been home to Lucas Iron Eyes since he was sixteen years old. He has lived by three rules to keep himself out of trouble: 1) preserve the culture, 2) respect the horses, and 3) stick to himself. When he is tasked with picking up Lottie’s granddaughter at the bus station, the last person he expected to see is the Avery Fox. Lucas can’t stand what she represents, but when he’s forced to work with her on the ranch, he can’t get her out of his sight—or his head. He reminds himself to keep to his rules, especially after he finds out the ranch is under threat of being shut down.

It’s clear Avery doesn’t belong here, but they form a tentative truce and make a deal: Avery will help raise funds to save the ranch, and in exchange, Lucas will show her what it really means to be an Indian. It’s purely transactional, absolutely no horsing around…but where’s the fun in that?

Interesting blend of rom com and culture

This was a fun read. It was hard to put it down. Lots of current day references and rich in culture. Sweet enemies to friends to lovers story.

INDIGENOUS COWBOY

I can’t get over how good of a book this is and how much the cowboy romance (the romance genre in general) needs representation like this.

I love Avery and how hilarious she is
I love Lucas and his grumpy attitude

Together they are beautiful!

This book will make you laugh, cry, and (hopefully) make you seek out more by Danica.

Excellent

So glad I picked up this book! I’m a sucker for a cowboy romance and a pop star romance, but the added cultural elements here and discussions on identity added so much depth. Lucas and Avery had spectacular banter in this slow-burn, enemies to lovers story. Feet-kicking, swoony goodness! Open door, 🌶️🌶️.

LOVED THIS BOOK

Yeehaw this was such a freaking delight!

Disgraced celebrity goes back to grandma's ranch to hide out over being cancelled online and of course there's a very hot, very grumpy, cowboy ranch hand working there who gives her crap. 10/10

Indigenous novel.

Loved the story and the telling. Loved also that it was set in Oklahoma in the tribal area.
