Desert Willow by Kassidy Harris

Sophie James was attacked one night, left bloody and bruised at the hospital, with no recollection of what happened. Time went by with no conclusion on why she was targeted. Years later, with no other incidents, she can’t shake the feeling she needs to start over, so she moves across the country to escape her past. Living a simple, small-town life in Texas, she works for a land development company in the city, is a homebody, and has one companion, her dog. Her dating life has been a bit rocky since that awful night in Seattle.

Lane Adler is a traditional cowboy, waking up at dawn to work countless hours on the ranch, trying to keep his family legacy afloat, with the never-ending oil crisis threatening to bring it down. His father passed away unexpectedly. One of his sister’s dead because of her own tragic past. The other lives with her husband and kids out of town, so the ranch’s fate is up to him. It is his only focus. There is too much to worry about, let alone adding dating to his problems.

When their paths cross, in the most unconventional way, they’re forced to work together with one primary focus: saving the ranch.

Lines get blurred. Feelings develop. Sophie’s past shows up to haunt her.

Will Sophie be the one to help Lane save his family’s ranch?

Will Lane be the one to save Sophie from her past?

Or will nothing be saved at all, including both of their hearts?
