In this romance series launch—Welcome Gold Valley, Oregon, where a rough-and-tumble rancher and the girl next door learn that opposites attract. Olivia Logan has a plan: win back her ex by making him see what he’s missing. But first she needs to find a man who’s willing to play along. With his laid-back cowboy charm and knack for getting under her skin, Luke Hollister is an unlikely hero—but he wants her help convincing her father to sell him land, which means he needs her as much as she needs him. Luke likes his life—and his women—uncomplicated. So why does good girl Olivia heat his blood like no one else? She’s always been off-limits, but the more time they spend as Gold Valley’s hottest new “couple,” the more real it’s starting to feel. Luke was supposed to help her win back another man . . . not keep her in his arms. But now that he has her there, he’s not sure he’ll ever let go. Be sure to check out the rest of the Gold Valley series. Praise for Smooth-Talking Cowboy “Ms. Yates has a gift for layering characters impeccably and her skill is put to good use here. . . .
