By Kaia Draven

When Boston socialite Josephine Hartwell inherits a failing Wyoming ranch, she expects to sell quickly and return to her comfortable life. Instead, she finds herself captivated by the wild frontier and by Sage McKenna, the ranch's fiercely independent foreman who wears men's clothes and answers to no one.

But the harder Jo works alongside Sage mending fences, breaking horses, fighting cattle rustlers.... the more she discovers a woman she never knew existed within herself.

When ruthless neighbor Callum Brennan tries to steal their water rights and destroy the ranch, Jo and Sage must fight not just for their land, but for their right to love each other in a world determined to tear them apart.

Set against the brutal beauty of the 1880s frontier, this wlw enemies to lovers story follows two women who risk everything.... reputation, family, even their lives to build a future together. With corruption, violence, and betrayal closing in from all sides, Jo faces an impossible choice: return to the safety of Boston society, or stand beside the cowgirl who's stolen her heart.
