A Summer of Storms and Secrets

<p><em>Maggie Bennett has spent her life under the watchful eye of her strict family bound to the land that has always felt more like a cage than a home. When Wyatt Carter arrives at Bennett Ranch rugged and brooding he is nothing more than a hired hand-an outsider she is meant to ignore. But from the moment their eyes meet a fire sparks between them-one neither of them want to acknowledge. </em></p><p><em>What begins as sharp words and stubborn clashes soon twists into something neither of them can control. A forbidden tension simmers in every glance every stolen moment that lingers too long. Beneath the surface of their resentment something deeper pulls at them-something raw desperate and impossible to deny. </em></p><p><em>But love has no place in a world built on duty and expectation. As the walls around them close in Maggie and Wyatt are forced to fight against everything they've ever known torn between what they should do and what their hearts demand. </em></p><p><strong>A heart-wrenching tale of longing defiance and a love too fierce to be contained.</strong></p>
