About the author

Hi, I’m Ginger Rayz, and I write small-town romance where nothing is clearly wrong… but something is always slightly off.

My stories blend emotional, slow-burn love stories with quiet tension beneath the surface—where protective, often grumpy heroes fall hard for strong women who refuse to break, even when the world around them doesn’t feel quite right.

In Hill Country Ridge, people watch, stories spread, and not everything works the way it should. Expect close-knit communities, messy truths, and relationships built under pressure—where trust has to be earned, and love doesn’t come easy.

When I’m not writing, I’m probably sipping coffee, chasing sunsets, or paying a little too much attention to the way small towns really work.

If you love small-town romance with depth, tension, and just enough unease to keep you turning the page, you’re in the right place.

About the book

Enemies to lovers. Single mom. Cowboy billionaire.
Yeah, I didn’t see that coming either.

He’s the grump next door with secrets.
I’m the single mom who can’t stay away.

Colton Hayes is all boots, brood, and billionaire baggage—the kind of man who glares like he’s allergic to feelings.
I’m the woman who spilled coffee on his boots at my job interview…
and still got hired.

Now I’m running his 4-H Foundation from his ranch, trying not to notice how good he looks in denim—or how his voice drops when he calls me trouble.

He’s gruff. Gorgeous.
The wrong kind of distraction.

But nights on the ranch get long, and one touch under the Texas stars changes everything.
Between late-night arguments, stolen glances, and him teaching my daughter to ride, the grump next door becomes the man I can’t resist.

Then gossip turns deadly.
Money goes missing.
My little girl vanishes.

And the man I thought was untouchable will burn the whole damn town down to bring her home.
