The Rancher

A Working Man Novella

De: Nolyn Lain

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

When Orion Cole returns to his late father’s ranch, it’s out of duty—not desire. What he doesn’t expect is to find a woman crying at his kitchen table—or the ten-year-old boy who calls her Mom.

Romy’s just trying to survive. After years of raising her son alone and working as the ranch’s maid and cook, she knows better than to hope for more. Especially not from the gruff, quiet cowboy who shows up looking like trouble and walks like he carries the weight of the world. But when he gives her just weeks before she has to move on, something unexpected happens—he starts to see her.

As work turns into trust, and silence turns into shared glances and late-night porch talks, Orion finds himself falling—for the boy who looks up to him, and the woman who feels like home. But when a job offer from a rival ranch threatens to take Romy away for good, Orion has to face the truth: not everyone leaves.

A slow-burn, small-town cowboy romance full of second chances, found family, and a man learning to open his heart to the one woman who never asked him to.
