Hard To Fall by Carolina Jax

I don’t fall.
I ride bulls, run my family’s ranch, and live eight seconds at a time. I don’t need help, and I definitely don’t need some sunshiney consultant showing up to tell me how to run the place my family built.
But Lily Mercer is used to swooping in and saving the day.
She’s stubborn and way too comfortable challenging me at every turn. Every meeting becomes an argument. Every argument ratcheting up the tension between us.
And the biggest problem?
The closer we get, the harder it is to remember why I’m fighting her.
Because somewhere between her joy, my grumpiness and one reckless kiss in the rain, the woman I swore I didn’t want becomes the one thing I can’t stay away from.
And if I’m not careful, the most dangerous ride of my life won’t be in the arena.
It’ll be falling for her.
