One night. No names. Texas heat and a bad idea.
Three days later, the cowboy in her bed is the rancher signing her paycheck.
Savannah Blake rolls into Marlowe to fix Lawson Ranch's books and outrun her past. Beau Lawson is all flint and sun—boss, enemy, temptation—and he doesn't forgive the stranger who ghosted him. Forced to work side-by-side, they spark like lightning over dry grass while the ledgers whisper trouble: cash gone missing, threats on the fence line, and a smiling devil who wants the ranch bled dry. Beau guards the land and the people he calls family; Savannah guards the truth she's piecing together—until desire burns through every boundary.
Storms, rodeo nights, and a hayloft that remembers every sigh pull them deeper into a fight neither can win alone. To save the ranch, Savannah must decide if she exposes the rot and loses the man who finally feels like home—or saddles up beside him and risks everything. High heat, small-town scandal, and a relentless cowboy who loves like a promise. HEA after hellfire.
