On an inherited ranch in Northern California, one family is discovering all the possibilities life can offer—and the kind of love that will outlast even the land...



Angela Dalton’s return to Dry Creek Ranch is anything but simple. After being charmed by a handsome face into bankrolling a violent militia—then helping the authorities bring them down—she’s now a target. Leaving witness protection is a risk until she can figure out where to go next—and the good-looking cowboy who lives across the creek from her cabin is an inconvenient distraction.



Tuff Garrison doesn’t get involved. Ever. It’s been his guiding principle since leaving home alone at fifteen. But there’s something about Angela’s haunted eyes—and the spark she ignites—that pulls him in. When danger tracks her down, they’ll have to rely on each other to escape the threat—and risk their hearts in the process.

A heart-pounding, cowboy romance about danger, desire, and a cowboy worth breaking all your rules for. Perfect for fans of Bailey Hannah’s 'Alive and Wells' and Kate Pearce.
