Unbroken by Us

Stephanie and Liam have been inseparable since childhood. When tragedy strikes at fifteen, Liam loses his parents and finds himself and his younger sister taken in by family in Copper Creek, Texas. Stephanie promises to be there for him—always. And she keeps that promise.

Years later, Liam has built a life in Copper Creek as a Blackwood cowboy, working the family ranch alongside his adoptive family. He's steady, protective, and dependable—everything Stephanie always knew he'd be. But watching her from a distance, year after year, has become unbearable. He's done pretending that what he feels is just friendship.

Stephanie has built a successful career in Dallas, but she's never been able to move on from the boy who became her anchor during the darkest moment of her life. When she returns to Copper Creek, she comes face to face with the man Liam has become—harder, more determined, and absolutely done with waiting.

But Stephanie is terrified. Of losing him. Of ruining their friendship. Of admitting that maybe, just maybe, he's been the one all along.

When years of restraint finally break, Liam is ready to fight for her—to show her that what they have is worth risking everything. But convincing Stephanie that their bond can survive becoming something more? That's the hardest battle he's ever fought.
