Grace Miller never expected to fall for a cowboy. Burned out from a high-pressure job and reeling from betrayal, she escapes to a Texas ranch looking for space, not more chaos. But when a thunderstorm traps her with Wyatt Callahan the rugged, closed-off rancher who owns the land clarity isn’t what she finds.
Wyatt doesn’t hand out trust. Not after watching it shatter once before. So when Grace shows up city polish, sharp wit, completely out of place he braces himself. What he doesn’t see coming is her grit, her honesty, and the way she catches the cracks in the armor he thought was unbreakable.
Under wide skies and nights strung with stars, wary glances shift into something harder to ignore. Still, old fears don’t vanish easily, and just as Grace starts to imagine staying, Wyatt pulls away.
She came to leave her past behind. He can’t let go of his.
Is this only a summer escape, or the start of something that lasts longer than the sunset?
