About Grumpy Rancher’s Secret: An Off-Limits Boss & His Brother’s Ex Romance by Nelle Stone
Tessa Quinn didn’t come to the Maddox ranch for anything except the books. A set timeline, a clean ledger, and a fresh start somewhere far away from her past. Kane Maddox was supposed to be a signature on a check — not the man taking her apart against his barn wall.
He doesn’t do soft. He doesn’t do trust. And she is, without question, the worst possible woman for him to want — his brother’s ex, his accountant, and now the prime suspect when his horses start getting poisoned and money starts disappearing from accounts only she had access to.
Kane looks at her like the enemy. So she does the only sensible thing left. She packs her bags.
She won’t stay for a man who believes a lie over the woman in his bed.
But Kane Maddox doesn’t do halfway. And he doesn’t let go.
The question was never whether she’d forgive him. It’s whether he gets there before she’s gone for good.

Author Bio:
Amazon Top 10 Bestselling Contemporary (Western) Romance Author
Nelle Stone writes emotionally charged contemporary romance about guarded men, off-limits desire, and the moment everything breaks open.
Her stories live in the tension, between responsibility and want, control and vulnerability, the rules we set and the feelings that refuse to follow them.
She’s drawn to slow burns, complicated power dynamics, and characters who fall before they’re ready, often when it costs them the most. Whether set in small towns or high-pressure worlds, her romances center on emotional intimacy, restraint, and the quiet unraveling that comes when love arrives at the most impossible time.
When she’s not writing, Nelle is usually thinking about the next story, reworking a sentence until it lands just right, or getting lost in a book that hurts in all the best ways.
