She came to Texas to forget. He never planned to feel again. But beneath the burning skies and quiet stables, two broken souls find something they never expected each other.
After a painful betrayal shatters her carefully planned life, Elena James flees the city and finds refuge on her aunt's horse ranch in the heart of dusty, sun-drenched Texas. She's determined to rebuild herself-quietly, far from love and heartbreak.
But everything changes when she meets Weston Cole a rugged, silent cowboy with a haunted past and a gaze that sees right through her. He doesn't talk much. Doesn't smile often. Yet in his silence, Elena feels more seen than she ever has.
As summer stretches on, stolen glances turn to late-night confessions, and long rides under starlit skies awaken a passion neither of them dares name. But Weston is a man with secrets and love is a risk Elena swore she'd never take again.
And when hearts finally speak... the fire between them might be too wild to contain.

Now one of Dallas's top wedding planners, she's built a life around picture perfect celebrations, and walls high enough to keep love at a safe distance.

With a wedding that could make or break the ranch's future, Claire and Tyler are forced to work side by side.

Untamed
"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequentlyComplete
