📚 Book 2 of a completed 12-book series
When Bayleigh Creed shows up on Owen Blackthorne's doorstep asking for help, neither expects the spark that ignites between them—especially not with their families locked in a bitter feud that's torn the Texas landscape apart. Forced to work together to find her missing brother in the unforgiving West Texas wilderness, these two fierce loners discover that survival means depending on each other in ways that terrify them both. As danger closes in and secrets unravel, they'll face an impossible choice between the families and loyalties that define them and a love that might be worth losing everything for. It's a sweeping, emotional tale about finding connection with the one person you're absolutely not supposed to want.

“Create a playlist called The Texan. A smoldering blend of country grit and indie tension—think Jason Isbell's raw storytelling, Colter Wall's dusty melancholy, and Hozier's magnetic pull. Acoustic guitars meet electric friction. Yearning vocals over slow-burn rhythms. Desert heat and forbidden connection. Music for two people who can't stay away.”
