Dust and Desire: Forbidden Lessons Under the Hot Ranch Sun

Tori has built her life on discipline long days, steady work, and control that keeps everything in line. On the wide, unforgiving plains of her ranch, desire has never had a place. Until Harper shows up.

Harper is young, ambitious, and unwilling to be overlooked. Sent as an intern to learn the ropes, she’s determined to prove herself. But every smile, every glance, every brush of her hand against Tori’s makes the ground shift, turning lessons into something far more dangerous.

What starts as routine under the hot sun soon burns into charged silences and touches that linger too long. Tori knows the risks her name, Harper’s future, even the ranch itself but resisting grows harder each day. Harper’s presence stirs something Tori thought she’d buried, something too strong to keep down.

With ranch hands watching and the endless sky above, Tori fights to hold the line. Yet the harder she pushes Harper away, the more impossible it becomes to let go.

Will she risk the life she’s built for the love she can’t ignore?

The wildest frontiers aren’t just out on the plains they live inside the heart.

In the Cowgirl Secret Desire series, every book stands on its own, but together they tell a story of women who never expected to fall for each other. Under wide Western skies, passion tangles with loyalty and secrets too tempting to ignore.

Sometimes it starts with the scrape of dusty boots on a wooden floor, or the flash of a daring smile at sunset. Barns, rodeo arenas, and long ranch nights become stages where grit collides with forbidden want. These aren’t polished fairy tales. They’re raw, messy, and unforgettable where love grows wild in places no one thought to look.

Frontier grit. Fierce women. Desire that won’t stay hidden.

Are you ready to ride into the fire?
