About this book

When Kinyan Holloway's husband dies unexpectedly, she's left managing Wyoming Territory's largest ranch while straddling two worlds—the Sioux heritage of her childhood and the responsibilities she owes her three children. Enter Benjamin Colter, a mysterious gunslinger with a scarred past and vengeance still nipping at his heels, who rides into her life with his own agenda. What unfolds is a passionate story of two wounded souls learning to trust each other as they face danger from a deadly rival and the challenge of blending a broken family into something whole. If you love frontier romance that captures the raw beauty of the American West alongside deeply emotional character journeys, this is the perfect read.

Dusty Americana heartbreak with slow-burn tension. Deep vocals, haunting melodies, and bittersweet folk. Think Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, and Jason Isbell—raw vulnerability wrapped in frontier grit. Wounded souls finding solace.
