Wyatt Stone had one rule about the Houston transplant next door. Don't speak to her. Don't help her. Don't look twice.
Then his future sister-in-law set them up on a blind date he never wanted.
Emma left Houston to build a fully self-sufficient farm and prove her family wrong about the inheritance she sank into it. She didn't come looking for a cowboy.
Except Wyatt keeps showing up. With coffee. Fixing things she didn't ask him to fix. Falling, slowly and stubbornly, for the very woman he tried to send packing.
But Emma is sitting on a secret — a buyout offer for more than double what she paid — and when Wyatt finds out the wrong way, every fear he buried about outsiders who don't stay comes roaring back. So does every wound from the family that called her dream a mistake.
Two people who don't realize they're hiding the same kind of hurt. One Texas town that's already decided they belong to each other.
