Embers To Inferno

By VA Browning

Madison Sullivan returns to the family ranch to sort a life littered with good intentions and bad debts. Eight months after her mother's funeral, she finds the past decayed-fences sagging, breeding stock sold below value, and a father who's given up. The one person who hasn't left is James Drake, the young hired hand who's been running the place on coffee, baling wire, and quiet loyalty. He's moved cattle, fixed tractors, balanced the books as best he could-and fallen in love from the stable aisle.

When the bank demands a payment that the ranch cannot meet, Madison must decide: sell the land she loved into a gated future, or fight a desperate, improbable fight to transform the operation and save the people who remain. James proposes a plan-heritage breeds, agritourism, emergency grants-and offers himself as partner in both work and life. But can two bruised hearts rebuild what grief has nearly buried, and does healing belong more to the land than to the lovers who tend it?

Returning home to a failing ranch, Madison must race the bank to save her family legacy. The man who's kept the place together is also the one asking her to risk everything for love-will land and heart survive the countdown?

Three months. One foreclosure notice. A salvage plan no banker believed in. When Madison Sullivan returns to a failing Colorado ranch, she finds a hired hand who's been keeping the legacy alive - and a second chance she never expected. Packed with small-town heat, family stakes, and slow-burn romance, Embers To Inferno will pull you in from the first mile down County Road 19. Buy now to join Madison and James as they fight to save their land, their hearts, and everything in between.
