She came to Silver Ridge to rebuild a house. She didn't expect to rebuild her heart.Ellie didn't come to the Texas Hill Country to find love; she came to find herself.

At sixty-five, she has traded her old life for Bluebonnet Cottage—a place that, much like Ellie, has seen better days. She promised herself this would be her "Third Act," a time for dignity and independence. But the brochure didn't mention the rusted locks, the leaking roof, or the stubborn, brooding rancher next door who watches her struggle from behind his fence.

Silas "Stone" McAllister has spent years building walls around his heart as high as the ones around his Double M Ranch. He’s a man of few words and deep scars, convinced that solitude is the only way to stay safe. But when a violent storm shatters the Texas sky and threatens Ellie’s fragile sanctuary, Silas can no longer stand by.

Forced together by the elements, Ellie and Silas discover that the silence between them isn't empty—it's companionable. As they navigate mud, memories, and the sweet scent of jasmine after the rain, they must answer the hardest question of all:

Can two people who have spent a lifetime learning to stand alone finally learn how to lean on each other?

Shelter at Silver Ridge is Episode 1 of the Silver Ridge Daily Stories.Dive into a daily dose of hope, healing, and wholesome romance. Perfect for fans of heartwarming later-in-life love, small-town charm, and the power of second chances. Includes a special recipe for Ma' Clara's Pecan Pie.
