The Ground We Keep

For generations, Hollmere Run Ranch has been more than just a piece of land. Carter Hollmere promised to protect everything that his family has built. With his father refusing to slow down, the last thing Carter needs is an ambitious oil company representative determined to take everything he loves.

Cecelia "Cece" Reilly has spent years proving herself in a career where success is measured by the deals that you close. Sent from Boston to negotiate a deal for a simple Montana ranch, she expects a straightforward assignment, not a grumpy cowboy who only knows how to say no.

When Cece is forced to live on the land she was sent to buy, she begins to see the ranch through Carter's eyes. With every day that they spend together, the line between resentment and desire begins to blur.

As secrets about the pipeline project begin to surface, Cece must decide whether to protect the career she's worked so hard to build or risk everything for the man, the family, and the land that unexpectedly claimed her heart.
