She came to teach. She never expected to fall for the toughest woman in town.
Clara Wright thought she was prepared for the challenges of frontier life when she took a teaching post in the harsh town of Greystone Bluff. But her resolve is tested the moment she meets Bea Sullivan—a rugged, stoic rancher with a fearsome reputation and no time for outsiders.

As Clara fights to win over her skeptical students and survive gossip that swirls through town like tumbleweed, she finds herself drawn to Bea's quiet strength and hidden warmth. But in a place where secrets are currency and appearances can ruin lives, both women must decide what's worth fighting for—the safety of silence or the wildfire of forbidden love.

A tender enemies-to-lovers romance full of grit, resilience, and stolen glances beneath wide prairie skies.
