In the heart of Arizona, where the desert meets the sky, I found him—Joel, the cowboy who reigns over the land and my dreams. My plan? Stay focused on my new vet tech job, not the man who makes my heart gallop wilder than a mustang at sunset.

I came to this small town seeking a fresh start, armed with nothing but my suitcase and a degree. Then Joel happened.

Strong, silent, with eyes that promise adventures I've never dared to dream of. He's a mystery wrapped in denim and dust, a man who speaks the language of the land and whose touch ignites a fire I can't quench.

Our worlds collide with the force of a summer storm, leaving me breathless and wanting more. But here, under the vast Arizona skies, secrets loom larger than the shadows at dusk.

And Joel's world—a tapestry of rodeos, open fields, and starlit nights—tempts me with a life I never envisioned. Surrendering to Joel means risking it all—my heart, my fears, and the future I thought I wanted.

As the desert blooms after the rain, so does my hope for a love as boundless as the horizon. Can we navigate the rugged terrain of love together, or will our secrets be the gust that extinguishes the flame?.
