Liberty Jones has big dreams and a bigger heart, but she's trapped in a small Texas town with limited options—until she meets Hardy Cates, the ambitious guy who sees her as nothing but trouble, even as they're drawn together by an undeniable spark. When Hardy leaves town to chase his ambitions, Liberty's left to raise her younger sister alone, only to find unexpected support (and romance) from a mysterious billionaire who offers her a lifeline. As Liberty navigates the dangerous attraction pulling her in two directions, she uncovers secrets about her own past that could change everything. This is a swoon-worthy journey about a woman fighting for her dreams and discovering that sometimes the greatest revelations come from the people who truly see her.
