Sarah Grant appeared at Luna Vista Ranch like a storm blowing in from nowhere.
She’s trespassing, but it’s her blue eyes—reflecting the sky above—that catch me harder than any apprehension.

Fourteen years younger, a train wreck of vulnerability and courage.
She’s settled here on my land with nothing but a backpack and a broken heart.

I’m John Hearst, the reluctant cowboy whose ranch she stumbled upon.
I’m better with horses than people, and love’s a pasture I’ve fenced off since Lauren left this world.

But here she stands, sunshine cutting through my rugged resolve.

Pressure’s mounting, forcing us into a fake engagement sweeter and more tangled than a prairie rose.
Sarah’s there, brightening my worn-out soul, messing with my heart like a thunderstorm in the desert—unexpected and fierce.

The lines blur as my stubborn heart insists it’s untamable.
Will my inner fortification withstand this sunshine invasion, or will Sarah and her wildfire spirit ignite the love I thought was long gone?

I guard my heart like cattle, but she might have the key to the gate.
This could be the ride of a lifetime.
