| THE RANCHER – Joanne Rock Mesa Falls, Montana & Lake Tahoe, California – Present Day Ranching tycoon Miles Rivera is curious as to why internet influencer Chiara Campagna is interested in his past. While he’s hosting a party for several people at his home, he catches Chiara, who is a guest, checking out his computer. Miles decides the best way to get to the bottom of why she’s there is to seduce her into his bed, then confront her. He learns the next morning after their sizzling hot night together that she knew Zack Eldridge, a prep schoolmate of his who died mysteriously when he was seventeen. What is the connection? Why is she digging into the past—a past that Miles and his school buddies want to stay secret. When Chiara was a teenager, she came to know Zack and had a huge crush on him. She wants to know how he died and why Miles and his friends are keeping it a secret. But after her hot night with Miles, weird things begin to happen—including threats on her life that appear related to the case. Miles goes into protective mode because whoever is threatening Chiara could have knowledge about Zack’s death. Is it someone within their tight circle—or someone else? Miles should be angry at Chiara for snooping into his personal business, but their instant attraction takes precedence in THE RANCHER by Joanne Rock. The Mesa Falls series has revolved around the six male schoolmates who attended a private all-male school. Zack was their friend, too, but after he jumped to his death one day in front of them, they aren’t sure if it was intentional or an accident—and they’d prefer to keep the info of how he died out of the news. Unknown to Miles and his friends, Chiara—then known as Kara—had befriended Zack in an art class she attended as a joint venture between her private girls school and Zack’s. Miles soon learns that she may have some information to share on another secret that has stymied them… Miles and Chiara’s relationship is complicated because they shouldn’t trust each other. Yet, there is an attraction that leads to a one-night stand. Once Miles has her in his bed, he wants her again. But can she be trusted? Who is behind the attacks on Chiara’s social media pages and her life? By the end of THE RANCHER, a few answers to the questions brought up are answered. The final book in the series is out next month and should bring finality to the lingering questions that Miles and his friends have wondered about. An instant attraction leads to an affair that sizzles the pages. Chiara and Miles seem so different from each other, yet they are perfect for one another. Be sure to grab a copy of THE RANCHER.
