Synopsis
After a bad fall ends her barrel-racing career and a near-miss forces her to take stock, Emmy Ryder quits the rodeo circuit, breaks up with her boyfriend, and drives home to Meadowlark, Wyoming, and her family's Rebel Blue Ranch. She means to figure out what comes next — not to fall for the last man she should.
Luke Brooks is Meadowlark's favorite bad boy: a bar owner, a bachelor, and practically the fifth Ryder sibling, having grown up alongside Emmy's older brothers and tormented her the whole way. Seeing her again as an adult upends all of that. What starts as help moving into a ranch cabin turns into a charged, secret thing the two of them try, and fail, to keep casual — with her protective brothers only a misstep away.
The first book in Lyla Sage's bestselling Rebel Blue Ranch series, Done and Dusted is a steamy, small-town cowboy romance about coming home, second chances at a life, and the risk of loving someone your whole family already knows too well.
