Cassidy Roux was a legend in her time - a bounty hunter with a lasso on her hip and a shotgun slung over her shoulder. Feared, respected, and heartbreakingly alone, she lived for the chase and the justice she carved into the wild lands of the 1800s.
Until the storm.
One lightning strike later, she and her flower-loving horse, Beetle, find themselves standing at the edge of a world they don't recognize - a modern Montana ranch owned by Cassian Vale, a gruff rodeo star with hands that speak louder than words and eyes like dusk over the prairie.
He's stubborn. She's feral.
And neither of them can stop circling the other.
Between jailbreaks, thunderstorms, and kisses that burn slow then brand deep, Cassidy and Cassian will learn that love can cross centuries - and fate might just have a lasso of its own.
Saddle up, darlin'. This ain't your average love story.
After being caught, tried and arrested for a crime she didn't do; Lexi Hunter has a choice. It's either Juvie or spend the summer on her dad's ranch working off her probation. Should be an easy pick, right? Only problem is, she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad in ten years. The last time she saw him was through a car window as her mom drove them and all their possessions away to go live a normal, busy, eccentric lifestyle in New York. So basically, being back at a place she used to call home with a man she can't muster the respect for to actually call 'dad', is a prison sentence in itself.
Lexi is determined to hate and ridicule everything about her situation. Wanting nothing more than to get the summer over with so she can go back to real life. That all changes when she meets Dawson Priest; the ranch hand who she is forced to work side by side with. His optimistic, simple, almost eloquent outlook on life, the world, and the small town ranch life in general sparks her to see things from his perspective and may even challenge her enough to mend the strained relationship with her dad.
This is a story of self discovery, personal growth, a steamy cowboy fling, and learning the importance of forgiveness. This simple, small town life may not seem as much of a jail sentence by the end of the summer.
Who knows, maybe Lexi turns out to be a country girl at heart after all.
