Fever Dream (Emerald Lake #1) by Elsie Silver Pre-Order May 19th 2026

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Elsie Silver comes Fever Dream, the first sizzling installment in the brand-new Emerald Lake Western romance series. Fans of small-town, rivals-to-lovers romance will be captivated by this forbidden, steamy story of love, secrets, and high-stakes drama.

Professional bull rider Emmett Bush has one goal: save his family’s farm. Love isn’t on the agenda—especially not when it comes disguised as Julia Silva, smart, snarky, and off-limits. As the location consultant on the reality dating show Romance Ranch, and the sister of Emmett’s fiercest rival, Julia is the last person he should want—but sparks fly despite their mutual warnings.

What begins as irritation and playful bickering soon ignites into stolen glances, secret rendezvous, and undeniable chemistry. Emmett is supposed to woo contestants on camera—but his heart is already dangerously off-script. Can love survive when ambition, rivalry, and a reality show stand in the way?
