She's pregnant with a child that isn't hers. He can't stop himself from falling for her. But will the truth pull them apart—or bring them closer?

Renata Vargas never expected surrogacy to unravel her heart. But as the baby grows, so does the unbearable ache of knowing she'll have to say goodbye. The last thing she needs is more complications—especially in the form of a rugged, charming rancher who's slowly dismantling her defenses.

Gabe Braxton came to Vargas Guest Ranch & Resort with one mission: learn the ropes of resort hospitality and help save his family's struggling ranch. Falling for the resort's beautiful manager was never part of the plan. Especially when every glance, every touch, makes him desperate to uncover the truth she keeps locked behind guarded silence.

As their connection deepens, Renata's silence becomes its own kind of betrayal. Can Gabe trust her when she won't trust him with the truth? And when the emotional fallout of her sacrifice finally crashes over them both, will love be enough—or will it cost them everything?
