Reunited at Last

Adeline Marsh came back to Sedona to sell her uncle's land and finally close a chapter she's kept open for ten years. The land is not empty. Someone has been irrigating the orchard, mending the fence, keeping the well clean. That someone is Rowan Vasquez, alpha of the Red Rock pack — the boy who kissed her at the graduation bonfire and vanished before dawn, leaving a note she never read. Rowan has kept his wolves alive through drought, war, and a curse that has made every mated pair in his pack barren. Adeline's blood can break it. All he has to do is ask the woman he abandoned to save his family. She says no. Then the rival pack comes for the water, and Adeline — who has spent a decade turning bare ground into gardens — realizes the only thing she has ever been good at is making something grow where nobody expects it. She isn't going to sell. She's going to stay, and she's going to make Rowan earn every acre.
