I was sworn to keep the peace, not fall in love.

Claire Hollister is trouble. Not because she's reckless, but because the second she came back to Mustang Mountain, I knew I wouldn't let anything touch her.

She says she's here to settle her aunt's estate. Probate finally cleared, and now she owns an old house and a stretch of land that borders the most disputed property in this county. Land tied to a feud between the Hollisters and the Kincaids that's burned for generations.

I've spent my life keeping that feud from exploding. Watching the lines. Holding the peace. I don't cross them.

Until her.

When someone starts circling her property and old land records raise questions nobody wants answered, I step in. I fix what's broken. I make it clear she's not standing alone.

She says she doesn't need protection.

Doesn't matter.

The more time I spend with her, the more I realize this feud wasn't built on what we were told. And the harder it gets to pretend she's off-limits.

If I choose her, I won't just be challenging a century of bad blood.

I'll be choosing her. And I don't back down from what I want.

The Cowboys of Mustang Mountain carry regrets, rivalries, and reputations they've never quite outrun. They're the men who fix fence lines by day, fight their demons by night, and swear they don't need anyone. Their pasts are messy. Their scars are real. And their hearts are locked down tight.

Until the right woman walks into their path and shakes the dust off their hardened hearts. Women who aren't afraid to push back, dig deep, and call these cowboys out on every wall they try to hide behind.

On Mustang Mountain, even the roughest cowboy can find a future, but only if he's brave enough to love the woman who won't let him walk away.
