| THE RANCHER’S WAGER – Maisey Yates Gold Valley, Oregon – Present Day Ranch owner Cricket Maxfield “won” in a poker game Jackson Cooper’s services for thirty days and she plans to enforce the bet. She recently purchased the ranch and could use all the help to get it up and running. Cricket has known Jackson all her life and he intrigues her. However, she can’t get too cozy with him in that way because he might be her half-brother. Her mother may or may not have had an affair with his father around the time she was conceived. But it doesn’t stop her from having unexplained sexual feelings for him… Jackson sees Cricket as an annoying pest who is keeping him from the one thing he wants right now: her property. He figures he will show her how hard it is to be a rancher and she would then sell it to him. However, as annoying as she is, he can’t help but be attracted to her. Since he’s required to live on the property—in her house—then things really heat up between them. An unexpected kiss leads to a startling revelation from her. After Jackson drags Cricket over to his father’s house to find out the answer, it turns out they aren’t half-siblings. They’ve barely absorbed the news when they end up having sex. How will this change their working relationship? In THE RANCHER’S WAGER by Maisey Yates, Jackson and Cricket thought they were each getting the better of the wager but, instead, they end up having feelings for each other. Cricket is the youngest child, and for the first time, is out on her own running a rundown ranch. Jackson has always coveted the property and thought it’d be easy pickings to show Cricket how she wouldn’t be able to run it on her own. While they have known each other forever, there is animosity between the families related to their parents, though things have changed since Cricket’s sister married Jackson’s brother. Originally, Jackson was supposed to stay in the bunkhouse, but it’s not fit to live in, so Cricket invites him to use the spare bedroom in the house. Of course, it was inevitable that their simmering attraction would rise to the surface into a red hot passion. Jackson isn’t after any happily-ever-after with women, while Cricket dreams of a future with the man she just gave her virginity to. As she tries to tell herself their fling means nothing, she begins to realize that she does want him to stay. Things seem perfect between them, but will something put a crimp in their happiness? THE RANCHER’S WAGER has plenty of sizzle as the chemistry between Cricket and Jackson pops. An engaging tale that will capture your attention, don’t miss THE RANCHER’S WAGER. Patti Fischer |
