The friend zone was safe. Going beyond? Not so much.
Jude and Kaci's story... coming in 2025.
A hidden identity, friends-to-more Montana Ranches Christian Romance
Once Jude Kline was okay with being friend-zoned. He was too busy trying to keep up with his suave new-found cousins on their grandfather’s ranch to worry about romance, and it was easy to be friends with Kaci. She didn’t demand stories of his past. Come to think of it, she didn’t offer her own, either.
Kaci Moore doesn’t want to be found. She finagled her way into a position on her grandfather’s old friend’s ranch, and now she’s just keeping her head down and doing her job. Friendship with the rancher’s misfit youngest grandson is innocent enough, right? They can only be friends… but Kaci finds herself longing for more and it seems Jude might be doing the same.
Acknowledging her growing feelings will also mean acknowledging who she really is, and that’s not only revealing her real name. There’s more than one secret in her past, and Jude might land right in the middle of it all.
