On the rugged expanse of the Dutton Ranch, where loyalty runs deeper than blood and every sunset hides its own promise, Rip Wheeler and Elise Dutton have built a love forged in childhood and bound by fate.
Elise-Daddy's girl-has grown up under the shadow of her father, John Dutton, with the ranch stitched into her soul. Rip, the loyal ranch hand who has stood by her side since they were children, knows her better than anyone. Together, they share a bond built on whispered promises in the middle of the land they call home.
But love on the Dutton Ranch is never without its trials. From a childhood vow to a fierce protectiveness in the face of danger, Rip and Elise's life together is tested again and again-through loss, threats to the land, and the struggles of raising their children in a world where every day is a fight for survival.
One night changes everything. A night at the local bar turns violent when Elise stands her ground, defending her relationship-and Rip-against an unwelcome threat. The fight leaves her hurt, pregnant, and facing time behind bars, forcing Rip to confront his deepest fears: losing her and failing to keep the promise they made to each other years ago.
Against a backdrop of family, land, and legacy, Where the Land Meets Forever is a sweeping, passionate tale of love, loyalty, and the unbreakable bonds that shape the heart of a family.
