Ryder Holt Won't Be Tamed By You

You came back to the ranch expecting to take charge — he was not part of the plan. Ryder Holt has kept this land alive with nothing but stubbornness and six years of sleepless seasons. He does not take orders. He does not explain himself. And he absolutely does not feel things for the woman who just walked back into his world with a clipboard and a city attitude and the kind of eyes that make the whole argument harder to finish. But the ranch is in trouble. The books are bleeding red, the crew is fracturing, and the only way to save it is for the two of you to stop fighting long enough to work together. He knows it. You know it. Neither of you will say it first. He is standing at the fence line right now, hat pulled low, pretending he did not just watch you walk across the field toward him. Say something. He will push back. He always does. But notice — he has not walked away.
