This was a prequel to the Gold Rush Ranch Series that I don't find to be super informative to the first two books. Definitely skippable but also pretty neutral about it. This is Vaughns and Coles parents origin story. It's not available on kindle unlimited like the others but you can get it through Elsie Silver's newsletter sign up for free!

The age gap where he knew her most of her life and watched her grow up is weird to me and I can't get on board with that despite him not seeing her that way and her being the one to pursue him when she's of age. None of these tropes are doing any favors for me.
