He finds her bleeding on his land. She asks for two nights. They both know that's a lie.

Bellamy Rae—once a voice that could stop a room—stumbles into a forgotten ranch with bruises, a broken past, and nowhere left to run. Jett Crowe lives there alone, a silent, older cowboy who's made a religion of staying untouchable. He offers shelter and distance; heat does the rest. When his buried sins start knocking—sheriff's questions, biker ghosts, and the Feds with names he'd die to forget—their truce turns wildfire. Bellamy's voice is coming back; Jett's mercy is, too, but men who profit from pain don't forgive, and the law doesn't care about the reasons a good man goes dark. To keep each other, they'll have to choose it in the open: her courage on a makeshift stage, his protective fury in the light, and a love fierce enough to rebuild what the flames can't touch. A forbidden age-gap, small-town, high-heat cowboy romance about two broken hearts learning how to stop running—and how to bleed together into something whole.
