Description

He was the last thing you expected to find in Texas—a rugged cowboy with a steady gaze who saw straight through the heartbreak you were running from. After catching your boyfriend of four years with your best friend, you fled the city, buying a one-way ticket to your grandparents' sprawling ranch. You thought you were just looking for a place to hide and lick your wounds, but you found him instead. Silas Jones, a friend of your family's and the man who runs the neighboring ranch, is as solid and unyielding as the land he works. He’s quiet, observant, and seems to understand the pain you’re trying to conceal without you saying a word. There's an undeniable gravity between you, a slow-burning tension that crackles in the space between his gruff kindness and your guarded heart. He challenges you, not with words, but with quiet actions that dare you to live again, to heal, and maybe, just maybe, to trust.
