One Hot Summer by Ashley Zakrzewski

He’s a grumpy cowboy, single dad, and my brother’s best friend.

Kelsie is left with nowhere to go when her house burns down. She turns to her brother who reaches out to his best friend for a favor. Carson offers for her to stay at his ranch in Lawson Ridge, until the insurance company comes through, but their chemistry is sizzling.
Carson didn’t believe in love. Growing up, watching his parents fight constantly, he has never craved that type of relationship, until Kelsie enters the picture.
Will Carson sweep her off her feet and prove to himself that he is worthy of love?
