About This Book
Rhett Eaton has a problem — actually, several. He's a professional bull rider with a golden reputation he just managed to torch in a very public brawl, and now his agent's solution is to assign his sharp-tongued, infuriatingly attractive daughter as full-time damage control for the rest of the season. Summer Hamilton isn't interested in babysitting a charming wreck, and Rhett isn't interested in being managed. What neither of them planned for is how quickly proximity turns into something far more complicated than supervision — or how much harder it is to walk away from someone who actually sees you clearly.
Elsie Silver writes with a confident, propulsive energy that makes 400 pages feel effortless. The banter between Rhett and Summer has real teeth — it's funny without being cute, tense without being exhausting — and Silver knows exactly when to slow down and let the emotional weight land. What distinguishes this book is how it balances heat with genuine character work; both leads carry real damage beneath the surface, and watching them reckon with that feels earned rather than formulaic. A strong, assured start to the Chestnut Springs series.
