A Small-Town Romance with Discipline, Redemption, and Second Chances

Welcome to Hopewell, Oklahoma—a town where second chances come with consequences.

When wild-child Alyssa is forced to return home after her parents' sudden death, she doesn't expect to inherit a decaying farm, face her estranged brother, or cross paths with Josh Hodges—the town's no-nonsense sheriff who's determined to keep her in line.

Alyssa has always run from rules, responsibilities, and the pain of staying in one place. But Josh isn't like anyone she's ever known. He's steady, unshakable, and more than willing to give her exactly what she needs when her reckless defiance crosses the line—including discipline of the old-fashioned kind.

As sparks fly and tempers flare, Alyssa finds herself torn between the girl she used to be and the woman Josh sees beneath the chaos. What begins as a battle of wills becomes a slow-burning, emotionally charged romance filled with grief, growth, and redemption.

In this steamy small-town romance packed with emotional tension, sizzling chemistry, and heartwarming grit, love doesn't come easy—but it just might be worth staying for.
