How to Lose a Guy in 10 Acres

She was supposed to leave. The farm had other ideas.

She thought she was booked for a wellness retreat.
Instead, she ended up on a working farm.

River Sterling expected yoga, herbal tea, and serenity.
What she got was mud, livestock, and a farmer who looks like he’d rather wrestle a goat than host her.
She makes a living selling picture-perfect lives online. Sam Cordell—a stubborn, stupidly attractive farmer—makes a living doing the opposite, and has no patience for city guests, wellness retreats, or women who can’t tell the difference between a hen and a rooster.

River is only here temporarily.
Sam keeps reminding her of that. Frequently.

Sam already has enough on his plate without an unexpected city guest disrupting his carefully ordered life. River just wanted time offline—one quiet stretch to breathe and reset. Neither of them has any interest in getting attached.
Obviously.
But they didn’t expect the attraction.
And both of them pretend it isn’t happening.

Days blur. Work turns companionable.
Leaving was supposed to be easy.

It turns out the life she didn’t plan has other ideas.

A clean, slow-burn romantic comedy filled with small-town chaos, grumpy-sunshine chemistry, and one very inconvenient crush.
