Rafael Cruz and I share six miles of fence, one property line, and a long-standing agreement to stay the hell on our own sides of it.I'm Mara Delaney, third-generation Colorado cattle rancher and the woman Rafael has been arguing with since we were old enough to drive pickups. He runs the ranch next door like stubbornness is a business model. I run mine like I have something to prove.Then a late-summer windstorm drops our boundary fence and puts his cattle in my pasture.Common sense says we fix it, sort the herds, and keep this civil.

Common sense lasts until sunset.The first time Rafael kisses me, we're muddy, furious, and leaning over the same fence post. The first time we end up naked, we blame adrenaline. By the third time, calling it a mistake is getting ridiculous.Rafael knows exactly how hard I work because he works just as hard.

He doesn't want to rescue my ranch. I don't want to tame him. Somewhere between rebuilding fence, moving cattle, clearing the irrigation ditch, and crossing the property line for increasingly bad reasons, our rivalry starts feeling dangerously like a partnership.Then my operating-loan refinance hits a problem.

Decades of handshake deals have left our shared cattle lane, ditch access, and maintenance rights a legal mess. My lender wants everything in writing, and neither ranch can protect its future without giving the other permanent rights.Now the one man I've spent years refusing to trust is the one person I need to make a deal with that will outlast the sex.We can repair six miles of fence.The real question is whether we're brave enough to build one gate.WE SHARE A FENCE AND A BAD IDEA is a maximum-heat contemporary Western romance with two stubborn working ranchers, neighboring-ranch enemies-to-lovers chemistry, frequent explicit on-page sex, and a guaranteed HEA.
