Ladies and gentlemen, l'd like to welcome you to Wells Ranch where you will find Austin "Not-A-Cowboy" Wells. With scars from his past and a dislike for city girls, he isn't the most welcoming when Cecily begins working for him on the ranch. Little to his knowledge, Cecily is on the run from her abusive ex-husband and has a past of her own. As time passes, the attraction grows and they slowly begin to heal together. However, not all things in our past stay there, do they? 

You guys, this book is just *chef's kiss* and Austin Wells? He may come off as grumpy, but he is the most loving man. He falls so hard for Cecily all while being understanding and gentle with her. I absolutely adored their relationship and the growth we see for both characters from start to finish. You have witty banter, slow burn/pining to full burn and suspense. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you love yourself a good cowboy (or not-a-cowboy 😉) romance, this needs to be added to your library now!
