When architect Ella Monroe inherits half of a rundown Wyoming ranch, she doesn’t expect to share it with Jace Walker a gruff cowboy tied to the land and its history. Ella sees potential for something new, a chance to rebuild with fresh ideas. Jace sees the past worth preserving, every weathered fence and barn board part of a story he refuses to let go. Forced together by an old man’s final wish, they clash at every turn.
But long nights on the ranch blur the lines. Storms drive them into uneasy shelter, a quiet song drifts into a dance beneath the stars, and small moments reveal the wounds each has carried too long. What began as frustration edges into something harder to ignore.
Then Ella’s career calls her back to the city, offering a future she’s worked years to claim. To stay means risking everything she thought she wanted. To leave means walking away from the man and the home she’s only just begun to love.
Can Ella and Jace find common ground between old dreams and new ones or let it all slip away?
