Dust & Devotion

She inherited a failing ranch from the father she barely knew. He was supposed to inherit it from the man he loved like one.

Forensic accountant Elle Navarro didn't come to the Texas Hill Country looking for a fresh start. She came to assess the damage, settle the debt, and get back to her real life in Houston. What she found instead was four hundred acres of complicated beauty, a set of letters, and Reid Calloway, a former rodeo champion who had poured six years of his life into land that had just been given to a stranger.

Reid isn't angry. He's something more dangerous than angry. He's patient.

As guest season approaches and the pressure to save Copper Creek mounts, Elle and Reid must figure out how to run a ranch together before they can figure out anything else. They have six weeks, a failing operation, and the slow burn of two people who can't stand to need each other and yet can't seem to stop closing the distance.

Dust & Devotion is the first book in the Copper Creek Series, an ongoing collection of contemporary romances set in the Texas Hill Country, where everyone arrives with a plan and leaves with something they didn't see coming.
