Six years ago, a stranger pulled me from the wreckage of a burning convoy. He gave me his jacket, a canteen, and nothing else—not even his name.
I built a badge and a town out of that morning. I never stopped looking for him.
Then he rode through my gates with a contract, a patch, and a face I'd know anywhere.
Now he's guarding the one thing keeping my people alive—and I don't know if I want to arrest him or ask him to stay.
Someone inside my own walls wants this water run to fail. Every mile deeper into the desert strips away another layer of the careful, closed-off man I thought I understood—until there's nothing left between us but dry lightning, a dark canyon, and six years of a debt neither of us knows how to repay.
Ferrow's survival depends on secrets staying buried. My heart has other plans.
How do you let go of a promise you never stopped keeping?
