Lone Rock, Oregon – Present Day

The Carson and Sohappy families hate each other and have feuded over a strip of land that was gambled away in the 1950s. As such, Chance Carson and Juniper Sohappy don’t get along even though their ranches sit side-by-side. One day while out riding, Chance’s horse bucks him off and he hits his head on a rock knocking him unconscious. That evening, Juniper is driving home when she spots a body out in the field. It’s Chance, and he is injured and doesn’t remember his name. Juniper is an EMT and treats his injuries at her cabin, but instead of telling him who he is, she tells him that he works for her. How long will he have amnesia and how will he react when he finds out she is deceiving him? Meanwhile, Juniper discovers a sudden attraction to Chance…

Juniper is playing a dangerous game in RANCHER’S FORGOTTEN RIVAL, the first tale in Maisey Yates’ newest series, The Carsons of Lone Book. All their lives, the families have feuded over the water rights that were gambled away, instead of trying to reach a reasonable compromise. Meanwhile, the Carson family has achieved more wealth while the Sohappy family can barely get by. Juniper moonlights as an EMT while she works hard to maintain the land that she and her sister, Shelby, live on. After realizing that Chance didn’t know who he was, she decided to take advantage of the situation and use his capable hands to work on her property. Of course, with him living under her roof, it means he has to take showers and she can’t help but get to see him clad in nothing but a towel. Juniper is soon falling for Chance. But she knows that he will eventually remember who he is—and why he hates her.
