Fever Dream

Rodeorytter Emmett Bush er ikke ude efter kærlighed, men han mangler desperat penge. Derfor siger han ja til at medvirke i det populære datingprogram, Romance Ranch, og hvis bare han holder ud til sidste afsnit, er familiens ranch sikret. Indtil Julia Silva træder ind på settet. Hun er skarp, smuk – og absolut forbudt område. Ikke nok med at hun er tilrettelægger på programmet, er hun også Emmetts største rivals lillesøster. Julia har svoret, at hun er færdig med mænd, især den selvsikre cowboy-type med et farligt smil. Men gensidig modvilje bliver til uventet kemi, og snart kan deres hemmelige møder bag kameraerne true alt, de hver især har kæmpet for. Fever Dream er første bog i Elsie Silvers serie om dramaet, livet og kærligheden i den lille canadiske by Emerald Lake.
