Liam Townsend has spent years managing his anxiety with structure, chamomile tea, and the comfort of a predictable desk job. When his boss gives him a choice—write a feature on a Texas horse ranch or lose his position—Liam trades his tenth-floor office for Winchester Ranch and a world about as far outside his comfort zone as it gets.
Gentry Winchester didn’t ask for a journalist underfoot. He’s got a ranch to run, horses to train, and a grandfather showing the first signs of dementia to protect. What he doesn’t expect is a man who quietly walks into his chaos and starts making it better. Or the way that same man makes him question whether the life he’s built is actually the life he wants.
Pops Winchester has been the heart of this ranch for over seventy years. And the heart of Gentry’s world for as long as Gentry can remember. Sharp-eyed, stubborn, and funnier than he has any right to be, Pops is also the first one to see what Gentry can’t.
When a powerful storm bears down on the ranch and Pops follows a memory into its path, Liam must decide if he’s willing to act in spite of every fear still clawing at him.
Being a certain kind of man isn’t about meeting the expectations you were raised with. It’s about choosing the life and the love that feels like home.
Jen FitzGerald has loved romance since her Winnie the Pooh days--Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh have always been platonic soul mates. Long before she had the language for it, she recognized something special in stories about connection, loyalty, and love. A lifelong romance reader, she began writing fanfiction before moving on to original stories that explore tension, intimacy, and the complicated ways people find their way to each other.
Jen lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with her husband and the little dog she didn't know she needed. While their three children are now grown, two of their birdies have returned to the nest. When she’s not working her day job, Jen can usually be found reading, writing, watching hockey, cross stitching, or chatting with fellow writers online.
