Welcome to Burning Dress Ranch, where some women come to heal…and others come to hide.
Welcome to Burning Dress Ranch, where some women come to heal…and others come to hide.Pearl Pickett is a woman with a secret—and a warrant out for her arrest. On the run and desperate for a place to disappear, she stumbles across Burning Dress Ranch, where the mysterious Miss Sally offers her shelter…and a second chance. Pearl plans to stay quiet, keep her head down, and vanish when the time is right.
But Rodrigo Garcia, a stoic widower and protective father, isn’t about to make things easy. Guarded and gruff, he doesn’t want help from a sharp-tongued horse thief…especially not one who’s clearly hiding something. Yet Pearl’s uncanny gift with horses—and her growing bond with Rodrigo’s young son—begin to chip away at the walls around his heart.
As sparks fly and pasts collide, Pearl and Rodrigo must each decide what’s worth holding on to—and what’s finally safe to let go of.
Is she just a thief in the night…or the answer to a prayer neither dared to voice?
