Declan Skye puts others first, running High Water ranch with quiet strength and carrying the grief for his late wife like a second skin. The ranch is more than land—it’s a refuge for those rebuilding their lives. Declan knows how to mend fences and guide broken souls. But his own heart? That’s a harder fix.
Dr. Sydney Jeremiah is no stranger to pressure. She’s smart, driven, and fiercely independent, but Heart Falls is testing her limits. With her clinic on the line, a meddling grandfather pulling the strings, and a cowboy who sees far too much, Sydney’s carefully built walls are starting to crack. Declan offers the one thing she’s never allowed herself to dream of—a place to belong.
As danger and secrets rise between them, Declan and Sydney must trust each other—and the found family around them—to build the future they deserve.
