He opens the door — a rancher carved from storms and silence — and something in him snaps into recognition. Not desire. Something older. Deeper. Dangerous.
Their bodies answer first. Heat in the kitchen. A brush of hands that feels like fate learning their names. She’s a survivor who trusts no one.
He’s an alpha who’s spent years locking down his heart with fences and rules.
