Luke by Laylah Roberts

Luke Carlson swore he’d never set foot back on Baton Ranch. At least not while his father’s still alive. Then the old bastard passes away, and his death is the catalyst that sends his whole family into a dark hole of secrets and regrets.

Ariana Monton has loved Luke since she was a little girl. Unfortunately, he sees her more as a sister than a girlfriend. Not that she can blame him, she’s not exactly his type, and her crippling shyness and painful past keep her isolated and lonely.

But coming back to Baton Ranch has made Luke re-evaluate his life and the people he chooses to have in it, and a certain shy, little writer with a heart of gold might be just what he needs to help him put the past behind him.

Secrets come to light as the past comes back to haunt them all.
