You came home to bury your father. You planned to sell the ranch, sign the papers, and leave Mercy Creek behind for good. Then Cole Maddox is waiting at the gate. He owns the neighboring ranch, drives a black truck, and wants to buy yours before the bank gets there first. He is rich, controlled, dangerous, and far too good at making pressure sound like protection. Then Rhett Wilder shows up. Rodeo golden boy. Reckless grin. Dusty jeans. The kind of trouble you used to know better than to want. Rhett says Cole only knows how to take. Cole says Rhett only knows how to ruin. Both of them want your ranch. Both of them want your attention. And somewhere between grief, heat, old grudges, and pretty lies, you have to decide whether home is something you sell, save, or burn down yourself.
