Overview

A mysterious drifter with dangerous hands. A grieving rancher who trusts no one. One Wyoming ranch where secrets and heat collide.

Still raw from his father's death, Wyatt McCrae has sworn off hired help—until a lone stranger rolls up his drive at dawn. Diego Serrano moves like trouble, works like salvation, and makes Wyatt's blood burn hotter than August drought. But with cattle disappearing across the valley and his father's killer still free, wanting the wrong man could cost him everything he has left.

By day, they mend fences and birth calves—Diego’s sure hands teaching Wyatt to trust again. By night, they crash together in the tack room: saddle leather creaking, rough palms branding skin. Yet Diego’s secrets weigh more than the worn duffel on his shoulder. When armed rustlers storm the ranch with gasoline and rifles, both men must choose: the lies that brought them together or the truth that could bury them both.
