Rhett Walker’s ranch doesn’t need a publicist. Rhett Walker says so himself. Repeatedly.

Violet Montgomery is a New York City publicist hired behind the grumpy Wyoming rancher’s back — by his own father. She arrives in Whiskey Ridge with a rolling suitcase, a color-coded press strategy, and absolutely no idea what she’s walked into.

Rhett has three rules: no press, no outsiders, and no one messing with his ranch. Violet is currently zero for three. And then there’s Dolly Parton — his goose — who has decided Violet is her person.

The problem with spending forty-something years being practical? You’re completely unprepared for the moment someone walks onto your land and makes it feel like something you’d actually fight to keep.

But Rhett doesn’t do feelings. And Violet doesn’t do cowboys. And Dolly Parton doesn’t care what either of them think.
