Five years after leaving Silver Lining Ranch with a broken heart, Avenue Clarke returns to Texas as a photographer hired to capture ranch life for a major magazine. What she feared most was coming face to face with Mason Beaumont, the man she never stopped loving.
Seven years older, rugged, and impossible to forget, Mason once spent every spring falling deeper for Avenue while convincing himself he could never give her what she needed. She was too young, too bright, too good for a man tied to a ranch he wasn’t even sure he wanted to be a part of anymore. Too innocent to be with someone who couldn't even understand himself. But when Avenue falls back into his life, older and beautiful as ever, carrying the same fire he remembers, the feelings they buried come rushing back at full force.
As days on the ranch turn into more late nights, old memories and lingering tension, they are forced to confront the love they left unfinished. But with years of heartbreak, unspoken feelings, and fears standing between them, Mason and Avenue will have to decide if love can survive the realities that once tore them apart or if some people are destined to remain each other's almost.
When every step forward pulls the past closer, how do you choose which way to run?
Twenty-four-year-old Margot leaves Chicago with nothing but two suitcases and a heart full of scars. In an attempt to escape her violent ex, she flees to her mother's hometown in Texas, set on starting over. The last thing she expects is to find herself working on a sprawling ranch under the watchful eye of Hayes, a rugged cowboy with stormy blue eyes and a sharp tongue that cuts through every wall she's put up. Just as Margot begins to believe she's found safety, her past resurfaces with a vengeance. The turmoil she once fled now not only threatens her, but the new life she's tried so desperately to build. Caught between encroaching darkness and a spark she swore she'd never feel again, Margot must decide if she's strong enough to fight for her freedom, or brave enough to surrender her heart to the only man who's ever made her feel truly safe. Wildflower is a heart-pounding, slow-burn romance about healing, resilience, and love that blooms from the harshest soil.
