A brand new series from USA TODAY bestselling author Tonya Kappes, whose beloved Camper & Criminals Cozy Mysteries are currently in development as a Hallmark Channel original series…

For the first time in her life, Georgia “Cussy” Hollingsworth feels completely out of her depth. She’s left behind her fast-paced city life to take over her Uncle Amos’s Kentucky horse and cattle ranch—except it’s not just the ranch she’s inherited. When Amos’s death is ruled a homicide, Cussy is thrust into a world of small-town secrets, simmering grudges, and more Southern drama than she ever bargained for.

Colt Morgan is as stubborn as the horses he trains. The ranch manager has been running things his way for years, and he’s not about to let some city girl—or her fancy iced coffee—disrupt his routine. But when Cussy refuses to back down, Colt starts to see a spark in her that reminds him of why he fell in love with this ranch in the first place.
Between cattle drives, fiddle contests, and nosy neighbors with long memories, Cussy has her hands full trying to figure out who wanted Amos dead—and why. And with Colt giving her plenty of reasons to stay, she might just find herself falling for the life she never thought she wanted.
