Dust and Desire

By Eliza Hartz

Wade Ellor never expected to inherit a dying ranch-or to feel the weight of a legacy he barely understands. Raised in the sprawll of Wexley by an uncle who kept him far from his roots, Wade now finds himself alone on a hundred-year-old piece of land outside Crowridge, where the soil is brittle, the fences are falling, and hope is in short supply.

He needs help. Fast.

Marsha Hanson is used to running. With nothing but a backpack and a name she no longer answers to, she rolls into Crowridge chasing one last chance at a life that's herse to shape. When she sees the HELP WANTED sign at the Ellor Ranch, she steps off the bus and into a gamble.

Wade is hesitant. Marsha is hiding something.

But the land doesn't care about the past-only the work.

As the two fight to revive the ranch, their connection deepenes, tangled in desire and shadowed by secrets. But when the truth fina-Ily surfaces-it might not just threaten their fragile trust-it could burn the whole place down.
