In a town hidden between mountains and green fields, everyone knows Sawyer Ford. He's the firefighter who never flinches, the cowboy who never stays, the man every girl wants but no one gets to keep. Sawyer lives fast, burns hot, and leaves before anything can touch him. No woman has ever slept in his bed. No one has ever stayed long enough to matter. And that's exactly how he wants it. Until Isla De León arrives. She's new. Quiet. Soft in a way this town isn't used to. Isla comes from a different kind of country - one rooted in family, horses, and kindness that hasn't been hardened yet. She isn't looking for trouble. She isn't looking for him. She just needs a job... and somehow ends up on the one ranch Sawyer swore was the only place that ever felt like home. From the moment their worlds collide, everything begins to crack. Sawyer doesn't understand why she gets under his skin. Isla doesn't understand why he scares her - or why she trusts him anyway. The town watches. Whispers start. Jealousy ignites. Lines are crossed that were never meant to be. Because some people are fire. Some people are shelter. And some loves were never meant to be gentle. Set in a sun-soaked, horse-lined mountain town where everyone knows your name and no secret stays buried, this is a story about obsession, innocence, and the kind of love that demands everything - even from someone who swore he'd never give a thing.

"Run!" Julia exclaimed before grabbing a hold of her bag and bolting away as soon as the sound of sirens started approaching us at an alarming speed. Josh sprinted to his car, speeding off before I even had the chance to get in. I ran behind Julia as fast as I could until my foot got caught in a branch, making me trip as the police cars got nearer and nearer. I struggled to get up, shouting for Julia's help that never came. My ankle felt swollen, and my guts felt as if they had just exploded with the fall. Tears started streaming down my face as an officer walked up to me. Not my best friend and my boyfriend, no. Those two had ditched me. Leaving the police to only catch me. ***** Seventeen-year-old Sophie Reynolds thought she had her life all figured out, until a reckless decision got her sent away to her grandfather's ranch for the summer.

He's everything Sophie can't stand: carefree, unpretentious, and entirely unimpressed by her attitude. And the feeling? Mutual. Forced to work side by side, their constant bickering begins to shift into something neither of them expected. And the more time Sophie spends around him, the more he begins to change the way she sees everything, including herself.
