She came to escape the consequences. She never expected to find a reason to stay.
After one reckless night finally pushes her parents too far, twenty-one-year-old Silvia Golding is shipped off to spend the summer at her grandmother’s ranch in the middle of nowhere. Swapping rooftop parties, designer handbags and late-night cocktails for sunrise chores, muddy boots and endless fields feels like the worst punishment imaginable.
The only familiar face is her older brother, Kai, who never left after their grandfather died. While Silvia counts down the days until she can return to city life, Kai insists she’ll eventually fall in love with the ranch.
She doubts it.
Especially when she meets Knox Blackwood.
Rugged, frustratingly handsome and Kai’s best friend, Knox is everything Silvia claims to hate. He’s stubborn where she’s impulsive, hardworking where she’s spoiled, and completely unimpressed by her designer lifestyle. Their constant bickering soon turns into stolen glances, lingering touches and a chemistry neither of them can ignore.
But Knox has one rule he’s never willing to break.
Don’t fall for your best friend’s little sister.
As the summer unfolds beneath wide-open skies, bonfire nights, star-filled skies and golden sunsets, Silvia discovers that sometimes the place you’re desperate to leave becomes the only place that ever truly felt like home.
And sometimes the person you’re told to stay away from is the one worth risking everything for.
