Returning to Redstone hoping to heal from a bad breakup, I find my family’s home has been sold.
And the new owner? Austin Johnson. Rugged, no-nonsense, with a guarded heart…and a secret hidden beneath his cowboy grit.
With nowhere else available, I’m forced to rent the cottage on what was once my land. It means daily run-ins with the infuriatingly handsome rancher who seems determined to get under my skin.
We clash over everything: the past, the future, each other. Our tempers burn Texas sun hot, but then there are those moments. Quiet. Unexpected. Where his strength eases my grief, and his rough edges soften just enough to let me see the man beneath. I may be awakening something long buried in him.
We’re complete opposites, but I’m falling for him, big time. And I think he might be too.
With two such stubborn hearts, I wonder if we can find the courage to build a future—together—on the land we both love.
Or will my heart be broken again?
