Arguing with Her Billionaire Cowboy: Billionaire Ranchers, #5

By April Murdock

AJ Johnson has left the rodeo to claim his position as head of the family ranch. He's sowed his wild oats and now he's ready to take over his rightful place. The future growth of Terry Hill Ranch will soon be in his capable hands and he's ready for the next phase of his life.

Kate Pruitt has been there for the Johnsons. She's an employee, yes. But she knows Terry Hill like the back of her hand. She grew up there just like AJ had. And now that the crowned prince is home, she expects her time at the ranch will soon be over.

Just when she's bracing herself for the fall that's sure to come, she's presented with an unexpected opportunity. A competition. She can do a bang up job and knock her childhood crush out of his place in his family's business. She halfway expects him to cheat to win and put her out on the street. Either way, this has disaster written all over it.

Kate and AJ can't get along these days. There's no way they'll ever agree with her on decisions for the business. There's been tension - and attraction - between them for years. Will this competition turn them into sworn enemies or is this finally their time?
