This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

On the edge of a quiet farming town, the dust roads carry more than just the wind—they carry secrets. Luke Tanner never planned to return to his hometown, but when a whispered rumor about corruption and betrayal pulls him back, he finds himself walking a dangerous line between truth and survival.

Ella Hayes has spent her life keeping her family's land afloat, her strength forged through loss and long days in the fields. She knows the land, the people, and the shadows they cast. When Luke appears at her door with evidence that could shatter the town's most powerful figures, she's drawn into a fight she never asked for, but one she can't walk away from.

As whispers turn to threats, their fragile trust is tested against a backdrop of dusty roads, golden fields, and the ever-present watch of those who stand to lose everything. Every step forward risks exposing not only the truth but the feelings neither of them expected.

In a place where loyalty runs deep and silence is survival, Luke and Ella must decide how much they're willing to risk—and whether the dawn can ever be clean when the roads are built on dust.
