Callie Brooks has spent years building a quiet life on her Tennessee ranch, raising her young son Mason and keeping her heart carefully guarded. Horses, hard work, and the wide open land are the only things she trusts. Love is a risk she promised herself she would never take again. But when Logan Ryder, a powerful billionaire with a dangerous obsession from her past, returns to town, the fragile peace Callie has fought to protect begins to crumble. Through it all, Jack Sullivan has always been there. Loyal, steady, and fiercely protective, he's been far more than a ranch hand and far more than a friend. Yet the feelings Jack has carried for Callie have remained unspoken... until Logan's growing threats push everything to the breaking point. When a desperate act turns into a terrifying abduction, Jack will stop at nothing to bring Callie home safely. Now Callie must face the truth she's been running from: the man who has always protected her heart may be the one who holds it. Because sometimes the greatest risk isn't danger... it's finally allowing yourself to love.
