Duke

Lucky River Ranch, Book 4

By: Jessica Peterson

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Lila Winters

One chance meeting on a Texas ranch. One wild, too-charming cowboy. One snowed-in night that changes everything.

Wheeler Rankin isn't here for romance—she's come to Lucky River Ranch to visit her best friend, wrangle a business deal, and prove herself to everyone who ever doubted her. But when she collides with Duke Rivers—resident heartbreaker, restless cowboy, and brother to her best friend's new flame—sparks fly hotter than a Texas summer.

Duke has always dreamed of more than dusty trails and small-town life. He's itching to see the world, but one unforgettable night with Wheeler changes his course. When a blizzard and a business road trip leave them stranded together, their no-strings flirtation ignites into something deeper.

But passion brings complications—and unexpected news threatens to upend everything Wheeler's built. As family pressures, old wounds, and new dreams collide, Duke is determined to stand by her side, ready to forge a future neither of them ever imagined.

Can two fiercely independent souls trust in love, face their fears, and find home in each other's arms? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart for good?

Welcome back to Hartsville, where family is found, love is hard-won, and every cowboy has a story worth telling.

Duke is a standalone romance in the interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.

Duke

I love this book so much .. So cute how they where not sure what they wanted and in the end they had a happy ever after.. dislike how her dad was not a fan .

Amazing for this cowboy romance

WOW- Jessica Peterson has done it again. I was over the moon when I got this Advanced Copy! This is the 4th book in the Lucky River Ranch series. Don't let the accidental pregnancy trope stop you from reading this one. I absolutely enjoyed this one and Im not the biggest fan of that trope. This series has just captured my heart and managed to make me love every minute of their "mistake". I thought that She depicted this so well and I wanted to this book to keep going on because I was so invested in their relationship.

I need to grab a shelf trophy... and maybe an audio trophy because Jessica Peterson always has amazing voice narrators.

Everything

I can’t get enough of this series… Makes MY heart full and happy… I seriously wish the series would never end

Sweet Escape

This was possibly my favorite of the series. There are so many ways it was the sweetest, listening to the two MC come together. I think Duke is what we all dream of in a partner. I’m reviewing to give a sincerely grateful shoutout to the author for her graceful advocacy for women’s health in a story that takes place in Texas.

Gotta love a man that turns into a father 😍

how can you not love a man that loves a woman hard enough that it hurts. Then turns into a father, and is even more epic (as Robby would say). I really did love the way she let go and he gave his all. The boot co. im so excited for the girls!
