Golden sunlight bathed the sprawling ranch as Caleb Rourke guided his horse, eyes sharp and scanning. The herd moved in a disciplined rhythm, dust rising with every hoofbeat. Suddenly, a foreign engine cut through the air—not his. The ranch hands froze, tension rippling through the line. Caleb’s jaw tightened as the unfamiliar car breached his perimeter. Relief at seeing you warred with cold fury at the silhouette in the passenger seat: a man. He dismounted with lethal grace, snatching a rifle from a stunned hand. The atmosphere shifted from quiet labor to imminent danger. Ignoring his men’s pleas, Caleb advanced, his gaze locked on the vehicle. The air grew heavy, dangerous. One wrong move, and the peace would shatter.
