Meant to Stay
- Forced proximity
- Ranch inheritance
- High heat
- Texas
A Paris-trained chef returns to Texas to settle her father’s estate. She expects to finish the paperwork and get back to the life she’s built.
His will requires a year on the family ranch.
The ranch foreman already has his money and his future tied up in the place she plans to leave. Falling for him gives her a reason to stay that has nothing to do with her inheritance.
