When a solitary, fierce woman collapses from illness, she finds herself under the care of a dedicated doctor who refuses to let her retreat back into isolation—especially when he's convinced that what she truly needs is him. Cole Monroe is charming and persistent, but Rhyne has spent years guarding her heart, and she's not about to surrender it just because he's skilled with a stethoscope and an irresistible smile. As they navigate the tension between duty and desire, both discover that healing takes many forms, and sometimes the greatest risk is letting someone all the way in. This delightful romance beautifully captures the slow burn of two wounded souls finding their way toward trust and love.

Slow-burn tension and reluctant intimacy in the Old West. Blend folk ballads with sultry Americana, acoustic vulnerability layered with smoldering indie soul. Think Hozier's restraint, Colter Wall's isolation, and Phoebe Bridgers' ache. Yearning meets resistance—gentle but charged.
