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.
