The Grumpy Rancher’s Baby by Layla Valentine

Hollywood was supposed to save his ranch. He never expected it to steal his heart…
Anna Lafferty has made a career out of finding perfect places, but never staying in one for long. As a Hollywood location scout, she’s always chasing the next flight, the next film, the next place that might make her name. When a dream assignment sends her to Texas in search of the ideal small-town romance setting, she stumbles upon Charlie Greene’s ranch: weathered, beautiful, and exactly what her movie needs.

Too bad Charlie wants nothing to do with her…
Gruff, stubborn, and fiercely protective of his land, Charlie has no patience for film crews, city girls, or the kind of change Anna brings with her. But with the bank closing in and his family ranch on the line, her offer may be the only way to save everything he loves.

As Hollywood descends on Denson Oaks, Anna and Charlie clash over broken fences, nosy townsfolk, and the future of the ranch. But beneath the bickering, something hotter begins to spark. Anna starts to see the tender man behind Charlie’s scowl, and Charlie realizes the woman he dismissed as a flighty outsider may understand him better than anyone ever has.

Anna has never known what it means to put down roots. Charlie has spent his whole life holding too tightly to the past. But when one unforgettable night leads to a life-changing surprise, they’ll both have to decide whether home is a place, a memory… or the person brave enough to stay.
