Marisol Vega wasn't looking for a second chance—she was just trying to survive. Working at the feed store in Ekalaka kept her moving, kept her distracted. But when Dakota Anderson walked through the door, quiet and steady, something in her paused for the first time in years.
Dakota didn't expect the guarded woman behind the counter to leave a mark on him. But as they cross paths again and again, he becomes the one thing she never thought she'd find—safe. When he finally brings her out to Wolfe Ranch in Baker, it's not to rescue her.
It's to show her that peace is possible—if she'll let herself stop running.
As Dakota and Marisol navigate old wounds and new beginnings, Ridge Anderson's trip to New Mexico introduces him to Verity Holloway, a gifted horse trainer who sees right through his silence. Back on the ranch, mates are claimed, trust is built, and the Anderson family learns that healing often begins with a single choice: to stay.
In this final chapter of the Wolfe Ranch series, love grows in the quiet moments, and home becomes more than a place—it becomes a person.
