Dust and Desire

After losing the dog that protected her ranch-and one of the last living ties to her grandfather-Wren Parker is barely holding herself together. Fiercely independent and hardened by years of carrying the family ranch alone, Wren has no patience for outsiders, pity, or people who think money can solve hard work.

Then Ethan Sinclair arrives in town.

Fresh out of Manhattan and completely unprepared for ranch life, Ethan is sent by his powerful family to take over Blackwood Ranch before the property collapses for good. The problem? Ethan doesn't know the first thing about running cattle, fixing fences, or surviving a Texas summer-and everyone in town knows it.

Including Wren.

But Blackwood Ranch isn't just another property to the Parkers. Years ago, Wren's and Ethan's grandfather's built a friendship tied deeply to the land, and before he died, Wren's grandfather made one thing painfully clear:

If Blackwood ever needed help, the Parkers would answer.

Now, against her better judgment, Wren finds herself stuck teaching a stubborn city boy how to survive ranch life without getting himself trampled, bitten, or laughed out of town.

She expected him to quit.

He expected her to hate him.

Unfortunately for both of them, neither happens.
