Where the Heart Is by Jessica L. Elliott

In a race against time to save her ranch, Lottie can’t afford to lose her heart.
Lottie Heartt is as shocked as anyone when she inherits her grandfather’s ranch after his death. Unfortunately, the ranch has hit upon hard times and Grandpa left a stipulation to her inheritance: get the ranch back on its feet within a year, or forfeit it to her father and his greedy brother. Determined not to lose her family’s legacy, Lottie puts together the best plan she can to save the ranch. If only the handsome ranch foreman didn’t fight with her over every change she proposes.
Duke Scott has worked the ranch since he was a young man. Comfortable with the way things were, he balks at the changes his former employer’s beautiful granddaughter wants to make. But Lottie isn’t giving up, and he’s going to have to find a way to work with her. Fighting his growing attraction for his new boss becomes the least of his worries as outside forces threaten Lottie’s success.
