The war may be over, but the battle for her heart has just begun.

Colorado Territory, 1868.

Eliza Douglas has survived drought, loss, and betrayal. With her father gone and her ranch hanging by a thread, she’s learned to depend on no one—especially not a man who thinks he can lay claim to what’s hers.

Beau McCallister, a weary ex-soldier, wants nothing more than peace and a patch of land to call his own. But when his new claim borders Eliza’s, pride and passion spark a range war neither expected—and can’t seem to walk away from.

When wildfire, gossip, and old grudges threaten everything they’ve built, Eliza and Beau must decide if the land they’re fighting for is worth more than the love they never saw coming.

When the Dust Settles is a sweeping Western historical romance filled with:
Enemies to lovers
Slow-burn, grumpy x strong-willed heroine
Range-war stakes and frontier grit
Forced proximity and survival together
Redemption, healing, and a found-family ending

Perfect for fans of Linda Broday, Jo Goodman, and historical romances where pride meets passion on the open range.
