One stormy night. One act of kindness. One chance to change everything.

Five hundred acres of gorgeous California land is a life-changer for cousins Cash, Jace, and Sawyer—and a surprising chance for each of them to find a game-changing love . . .

Sheriff Jace Dalton doesn’t have room for complications. Between raising two lively boys, fighting for reelection, and keeping the family ranch afloat, his days are already worked to the bone. Then he finds Charlotte Holcomb stranded on a back road, her car packed and her eyes shadowed with secrets.

Fleeing an abusive relationship, Charlotte has lost nearly everything. She only needs one safe night before moving on—but the warmth of Jace’s home, and the unexpected welcome from his children, stir dreams she thought she’d buried forever.

As storm clouds gather outside and between them, Jace and Charlotte discover that sometimes love shows up when you least expect it—and that the hardest thing isn’t holding on to the past, but daring to trust in the future.

Perfect for fans of Bailey Hannah’s 'Alive and Wells' and Kate Pearce.
