Duke

Duke by Jessica Peterson is a steamy contemporary cowboy romance set on a Texas ranch, where one sharp-tongued visitor and one too-charming cowboy find their plans derailed by chemistry they can’t ignore. Wheeler Rankin arrives at Lucky River Ranch focused on a business deal, a quick visit with her best friend, and proving she’s more than the doubts thrown at her. Romance isn’t on the itinerary—until she crashes into Duke Rivers, Hartsville’s notorious heartbreaker with bigger dreams than small-town life.

A blizzard, a road trip, and one snowed-in night push their flirtation into new territory, forcing both to face what they truly want. With family expectations closing in and a curveball that could rewrite Wheeler’s future, Duke must decide whether he’s ready to stay and build something real.

Perfect for readers who love small-town romance, forced proximity, independent heroines, and rugged ranch settings. Add it to your cart and head back to Lucky River Ranch.
