I left Summerville to escape the life everyone had already planned for me… but coming home brought me back to the one person I was never supposed to want. For years, the Jaylan name has been tied to the rodeo world. My father, Cash Jaylan, built a legacy out of dirt, determination, and broken bones, and my sisters have always been a part of that world. But I was different. I left the ranch behind for college, determined to create a life away from the expectations, the gossip, and the small-town rules. I thought I had finally escaped. Until I got the call that brought me home. Now I’m back on the Jaylan ranch, working alongside the people I left behind—including Easton Nash, the world-famous bull rider who has been my family’s pride for years… and the man who is supposed to marry my sister. He’s supposed to be off-limits. I’m supposed to remember that every stolen glance, every late-night conversation, and every moment we spend together could destroy everything my family has built. Then there’s Cole Bennett, the ranch hand who has been by my side since we were kids—the one who has always seen me for who I am and never asked me to be anything else. Between a love I can’t deny and a loyalty I can’t break, I’m caught in a storm bigger than any rodeo arena. Because in Summerville, everyone knows your name, everyone knows your secrets, and everyone has an opinion. And when your heart chooses the one person it shouldn’t… there’s no easy way to walk away.
