The Cowboys of Wild Creek

Claire never planned to come back to Wild Creek. But when her mother's cancer diagnosis forces her to take over Golden Bridle Ranch, she has no choice. Between managing the property, caring for her family, and holding everything together, she doesn't have time for distractions—especially not for Beau McLeod.

Beau is back in Wild Creek after years away, haunted by his time in the Army and searching for a place to belong. When circumstances force him and Claire to work together on the ranch, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. The boy who once infuriated her is now the man she can't stop thinking about.

As they navigate the complications of running Golden Bridle together, old wounds resurface and new feelings ignite. And when Claire's past threatens to pull her away from Wild Creek—and from Beau—they'll have to decide if what they have is worth fighting for.

Sometimes the greatest love stories aren't about finding someone new. They're about finding your way back to someone who was always meant to be yours.

After eight years away, Tess Hayes returns to Wild Creek with her son Luke and one desperate goal: escape the man who's been controlling her life. Jeremy's abuse—emotional, threatening, relentless—has left her broken and terrified. She needs help, and she needs it fast.

Enter Levi Hollis, a lawyer with woodsy green eyes and a calm demeanor that settles her frayed nerves. When Tess calls his personal number, she expects judgment. Instead, she finds understanding. Levi listens without pushing, offers help without conditions, and promises to fight for her custody of Luke and a restraining order against Jeremy.

But as Levi helps Tess rebuild her life, something unexpected happens. The protective lawyer who's supposed to be her legal shield becomes so much more. For the first time in years, Tess feels safe. Truly safe. And that terrifies her almost as much as Jeremy ever did.

Can Tess learn to trust again—not just in Levi, but in herself? And can Levi convince her that some men are worth the risk, worth the vulnerability, worth opening her heart to?
