Dallas Buchanan has always been a firecracker. The youngest of three siblings, she grew up running wild on her family's sprawling Wyoming ranch, learning from her father, Weston, how to ride, rope, and live fearlessly. But the sudden death of her father when she was seventeen left a hole in her heart-and a restlessness in her spirit she can't seem to shake.
Now, at twenty, Dallas struggles to find her footing. She loves the ranch she grew up on, yet without her father, it feels emptier, lonelier. Her mother, Pearl, does her best to keep the family together, while her older brothers, Karter and Monty, each cope with grief in their own way. The Buchanan family legacy looms large, but Dallas has never been one to follow the rules-or anyone's expectations.
Everything changes when a mysterious drifter arrives at Buchanan Ranch, looking for work. Handsome, strong, and carrying the weight of his own past, he's unlike anyone Dallas has ever met. Despite her father's warning to never fall for workers who pass through, Dallas feels drawn to him in ways she can't explain.
As sparks fly and tensions rise, Dallas must navigate her fiery heart, her grief, and the rules of her family legacy. Will she allow herself to love again, or will fear and loss keep her tethered to the past?
Untamed Love is a heartfelt Western romance about family, healing, and discovering that sometimes, the most unexpected arrivals can change everything.
