The Outlaw’s Wild Grace: a Grumpy Sunshine Historical Western Romance

The Montana sky is a bruise that never heals, and the wind has a taste for bone.The Woman of Flint: In Boston, Clara Evans was a thing of porcelain—pretty to look at, but expected to shatter under the slightest pressure. She didn’t come to the jagged edges of Bitter Creek to be saved; she came to be forged. She traded silk for heavy wool and polite whispers for the raw, stinging air of the frontier. She is a woman determined to prove that her heart isn’t a glass ornament, but a muscle that knows how to fight.The Man of Stone: Liam Miller is a ghost with a pulse. For seven years, he has moved through the world with a chest full of cold ash, convinced that grief is the only thing that doesn’t rot. He doesn’t want the schoolteacher with her books and her defiant, sun-bright spirit. He knows the winter doesn’t care about hope—it only cares about what is soft enough to kill. He has built a fortress of silence to keep the world out, but the woman in his wagon is a spark he never saw coming.The Winter Promise: When the blizzard strikes, it doesn’t just trap them; it strips them bare. In the suffocating dark of a primitive line shack, the distance between “city-bred” and “drifter” vanishes. There is only the rhythmic thud of two hearts, the scent of woodsmoke, and the terrifying heat of skin against skin.But as the storm brings a dying child and the metallic scent of outlaw lead to their door, the isolation turns deadly. Liam must decide if he can finally stop guarding a grave, and Clara must prove she can hold the line. In the dead of winter, they will find that the most dangerous thing isn’t the ice outside—it’s the raw, aching fire of a promise that refuses to die.
