Sierra Callahan has spent years holding her family's ranch together, clinging to routine and control after her mother left and her world shifted for good. The only constant she's ever trusted is Wyatt-her lifelong best friend, steady and familiar in a way nothing else is. But when her father hires Asher Cole, a quiet and capable outsider who doesn't bend to Sierra's rules as easily as she expects, everything starts to change. As tension builds between past and present, loyalty and something new, Sierra finds herself caught between the comfort of what she's always known and the unsettling pull of something she can't quite control. Set against a small-town summer full of watchful eyes, whispered gossip, and a festival that brings everything to the surface, this is a story about growing up, letting go, and figuring out what-and who-feels like home.
