Working the land and raising my boys as a single mom is the only life I've ever known. Teaching during the day and parenting at night, my world begins and ends with them. But between managing a struggling farm in small town Whispers and nurturing a growing side hustle, I dream of a life beyond poverty, a chance to turn our hopes into reality.
I'm done living on handouts.
Then Sawyer shows up on my doorstep, the new local lawyer. A billionaire from the city, polished and privileged, he's clueless about small-town struggles, where food stamps and church donations mean survival. He says he wants to help, but I'm not some damsel in distress. His suits are pristine, my jeans are torn. His shoes gleam, my hair's a wild mess. He's polished perfection, and I'm pure chaos. Total opposites.
Yet, somehow, he breaks through my walls. And when he does, we're like a wildfire, intense, consuming, unstoppable. He's everything I never dared to want, offering me a fairytale I never thought I'd have.
But just as I begin to believe in a future beyond the struggle, danger comes knocking. The farm feels less like home and more like a target, my side business teeters on collapse, and my fears grow louder than ever. Life has knocked me down before, but this time, getting back up feels impossible. And the last thing I want is for Sawyer to fall down with me.
