Kindle edition · free to read with Kindle Unlimited where available.

Celia Ortega built a successful legal career in Denver, then lost it after exposing a corrupt client. Back at her grandfather’s struggling ranch in Juniper Mesa, she finds a corporation preparing to seize the valley. She knows how to fight in court, but she needs the local landowners’ coalition—and its leader is Theo Heptinstall, the cowboy she left eight years ago.

Theo has turned dust, debt and heartbreak into a cattle empire. Trusting Celia again could cost him more than his land. Working together in his ranch office brings old resentment and desire into close quarters, while a corporate conspiracy and a traitor threaten their case. With a flash flood stripping away their defenses and a seizure deadline approaching, they must decide whether their second chance can survive the truth.
