Ready to Raise by Jessica Vee

LUCAS:
I like my life simple. Working with my dad on the family ranch. Poker with my friends. A quick, anonymous hook up when my body’s urges get too strong to ignore. And that’s about it.
But now my father won’t stop raving about some pricey consultant, Alex, he wants to bring on board to revamp the ranch. The last thing I need is some slick, big-city man storming in here and barking out expensive orders.
When Alex turns out to be Alexis, a young, pin-up pretty blonde wearing a tight dress, three-inch heels, and holding a binder full of plans to turn Hart Ranch upside down, I refuse to play nice.
I refuse to let her big ideas lure me in.
I refuse to let her luscious body tempt me.
But when I find out she’ll be sleeping right across the hall from me while she and my dad work out their plan, it’s quickly clear that the woman is going to make a liar out of me…

ALEXIS:
Fake it ’til you make it. That’s my only plan.
After a divorce destroys my heart and my career, I’ve thrown every last dollar and idea I have into this re-branding pitch for Hart Ranch. It’s the big break I desperately need.
And if that sexy, stubborn son shoots me down, I’m ruined.
My focus should be on my work, but every time Lucas looks at me with those passionate green eyes, or I see his strong body working the land, I’m deeply aware of all the other ways he could ruin me.
Just knowing he’s lying in bed every night, right there across the hall, has me aroused to the point of distraction.
I may be able to fake professional confidence, but once Lucas puts his hands on me, the pleasure is very much real…
