The Rancher’s One and Only

By Maisey Yates

On Sale: 9/29/2026
Could this rancher be her most important discovery?

Dr. Ernestine Martin is serious about one thing: her research. But when Jax Noble finds her digging for fossils on his ranch, Ernestine’s focus shifts. How can she concentrate on dinosaurs when this perfect male specimen keeps crowding her dataset? Maybe Jax would entertain an experiment? 

The former MMA fighter turned rancher has had his pick of partners, but quirky, forthright Ernestine is unlike any woman Jax has met. He’ll happily participate in her “research,” but he knows it can’t be anything more—what could someone with his emotional scars have to offer her? But as they draw closer, the lines they try to draw keep blurring. Which begs a new hypothesis… Is he ever going to be able to let her go?
