Tragedy and loss have left Heloyse adrift, trapped in a void where pain is her only companion. Seeking an escape, she throws herself into the unknown-not to find herself, but to forget, even if only for a moment.
Her journey leads her to vast, lonely lands, where she discovers the warmth of belonging. But in the dark eyes of a rancher scarred by the past, she finds something more-a silent fire, a mirror of her own pain. He hides behind walls built by loss, refusing to feel. Cold. Distant. Untouchable.
Two broken hearts, two souls condemned to wander the shadows of their memories. But when desire defies solitude and love slips through the cracks, can redemption be found? Or will the past always demand its price?
"The Turning Point" is a story of invisible scars, of passions that burn like fire, and of love's devastating power-to heal, but also to destroy.

Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?"

Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building.

Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways.

As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?
