From beloved TikTok author Elsie Silver comes her contemporary cowboy romance series Gold Rush Ranch. Cole Harding, an ex-military man with pounds of baggage, and Violet Eaton, a jockey injured due to a serious fall, used to date online before they broke each other’s hearts. Now, forced to stay close, can they heal together?

Ive seen every square inch of Violet Eatons delectable body, and she has no idea who I am. Until now.

What happened between us online, in our chats, was meant to stay anonymous and in the past.

Until it didnt.

Its a small world, but Ruby Creek is even smaller. When I move to the tiny town, the grumpy facade Ive created slips when were forced to live under the same roof.

Every flush of her cheeks, every time her eyes flare with heat, every time she begs me not to stop, the ice Ive encased myself in melts. She has me wanting things I cant want. Things Ive been dreaming about since I first laid eyes on her two years agothings I dont deserve.

But my invisible wounds have the power to ruin us both. As a former soldier, I should have the discipline to walk away, but the more I open up to Violet, the more I want to keep her.

I came back from the war a different man, but my scars are older and deeper than anyone knowsand I planned to keep it that way. I planned to keep my secrets hidden.

Until her.
