Overview

She came to escape the spotlight. She didn’t expect the sheriff to light her up.

Big-city journalist Lena Carson is used to chasing scandals—not dodging deer on a midnight road into nowhere. Banished from Chicago after a headline-making exposé, Lena's temporary assignment in Wild River, Montana, is supposed to be a peaceful reset. Instead, she nearly collides with a coyote, a town with more secrets than stoplights... and Sheriff Rayna Calloway.

Rayna is no stranger to keeping her walls high and her business private. But when she pulls over a city-slicker with fire in her eyes and sarcasm for days, something stirs beneath the surface—something she thought she’d buried with the past.

As Lena starts digging into a decades-old ranch feud, she unearths more than a story.

There’s heat.

There’s tension.

There’s something real simmering between two women who should know better.

In a town where gossip travels faster than horses, can a jaded sheriff and a defiant reporter trust each other with their truth—and their hearts?

If you love slow-burn sapphic romance, small-town tension, broody sheriffs, and the irresistible pull of opposites attracting, welcome to Wild River.
