A False Start is the fourth installment of the Gold Rush Ranch series by Elsie Silver. This exciting romance is set in a small community with a ranch, where themes such as age gap and brother’s best friend take center stage.
Nadia rebuilds her life in Ruby Creek and works as a vet tech. She wants to be independent and make no room for complicated feelings, especially not for Griffin, her brother’s closed-off, older best friend.
Griffin bears the scars of his past as a former professional athlete. He keeps his boundaries and knows that Nadia is technically off-limits. Still, an unexpected moment changes everything between them.
The series blends elements of small-town romance, a ranch setting, and a protective hero, for readers who enjoy a healing—and spicy—BookTok novel.
