Carter Hill walked away from a perfectly fine life and relationship…all for a career she’s chased since she was fourteen. Years and a PhD later, she loves her job as a water rights consultant.

Logan Cartez doesn’t date, do relationships, or worry about commitment. He’s married to his job – making sure what destroyed his family ranch and their legacy doesn’t happen to others. When Carter propositions him, what began as a passionate and unforgettable night soon develops into more. Logan finds himself doing things he swore he never would, and the feisty, brilliant, blue-eyed rancher’s daughter has him thinking about so much more than work.
This is Carter Hill and Logan Cartez’s story.
She paused at Mrs. Landingham’s desk. As always, Logan’s executive assistant had her salt-and-pepper hair scraped back in a severe bun. In combination with a gray suit, no makeup, and unsmiling countenance, the woman was intimidating at best. She was also the most efficient person Carter had ever met, and Logan’s moods didn’t put a dent in her rawhide exterior.
As soon as she spied Carter, Mrs. Landingham stood from behind her desk, coming around, not to greet her but to open the door.
“Shall I—” “Please go in.” Mrs. Landingham practically shoved her into the room, closing the door behind her with a decidedly put-upon snap.
The man standing behind his desk jerked his head up from a stack of papers, recognition flickering in his hard, dark eyes for a miniscule moment before thick black brows descended into a scowl.
He opened his mouth, no doubt to ream her, but Carter beat him to the punch, sending him a sugary smile. “You bellowed?” She blinked at him in innocent curiosity, biting back a laugh, as his brows practically met in the middle.
Carter had to admit she loved those brows. They kept Logan’s face—all symmetrical with chiseled angles and a surprisingly full mouth—from falling into the realm of too pretty. Plus, they were practically a telegraph of his thoughts.

I loved Carter and Logan’s friends to lovers story in Landing the Lawman by Kadie Scott, book five in The Hills of Texas series. Carter chose her career over a perfect life and relationship, a job as a water rights consultant that she’s wanted since a teen. With all of her brothers happily married and starting families she’s lonely and has an emptiness she needs to fill. The only other man in her life is Logan Carter, a lawyer married to his job, working to make sure what destroyed his family ranch and legacy doesn’t happen to others. An unforgettable night of passion between these two ends up turning into more. The magnetism between Carter and Logan keeps them connected and their chemistry is off the charts. Helping Carter at her family’s ranch has him doing things he promised himself he never would. The strong, feisty, brilliant Carter has him thinking about lots more than work and his no relationship rule. I found myself loving these two and believing they were perfect for each other.
Ms. Scott wrote a wonderful and sexy story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Carter and Logan a chance to find loved and a future together. I highly recommend Landing the Lawman to other readers.

Simmering lusts lie just barely below the surface for and independent hydrologist and her lawyer boss. All bets are off when they succumb then fight the pull between them.

I have read and truly enjoyed the previous stories in this series, and this one was one of the best.
Carter Hill is one of five siblings, she being the only girl. Now a woman with a PhD and a water rights consultant she broke up with her boyfriend even though she loved the ranching life promised, but she also loved her job .
Logan Cartez, a lawyer who dedicates his time battling for those taken advantage in the water rights, is a man whose past has defined his present. A tough man , whose fiancee cheated on him, and one who doesn’t do relationships for fear of getting hurt and because he fears he might love his job too much.
Logan frequently hires Carter to test the water and land , and as time has gone by , a sort of friendship has developed. Feeling kept under wrap. But all changes when an emergency calls Carter home, and Logan follows on the excuse that he needs her close by.
It was interesting watching the relationship developing between Carter and Logan. Once we understand Logan’s past , we get to know the man .
But the road to happiness is bumpy, especially when Carter’s integrity is questioned.
Yes, this is a romance, but it’s also a story about family, overcoming the past, and allowing one’s heart to open even though it’s a scary endeavor. Remembering no one is perfect and life is full of ups and downs.
Another wonderful story by this talented author.
