Y/N never planned on working at Faye Ranch. After her brother Cash gets injured, he asks her to temporarily take his place until he’s healed. It should only be a few weeks. But from the moment she arrives, Y/N realizes she isn’t exactly welcome. Eli Faye, the ranch’s guarded owner and single father, wants nothing to do with her. Jordan and Robert aren’t much warmer, and even Sage keeps her distance. The only people Y/N slowly begins connecting with are Eli’s five-year-old twins, Noah and Emma, and Robert’s son, Rhett. Y/N tells herself she can handle it. She’ll do her job, keep her head down, and leave when Cash comes back. But the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to walk away. Because beneath Eli’s cold exterior is a man carrying more hurt than Y/N could ever imagine. And beneath Y/N’s temporary place at the ranch is something none of them expected. She was only supposed to stay a few weeks… So why does leaving start to feel impossible? 🌾🤎

@DeansgfThe afternoon sun hung heavy over the gravel road, baking the dust into the air as the truck rattled to a stop in front of the main house. The engine idled for a moment before Y/N killed it, the sudden silence almost loud in its own way.
