Enola Wells doesn’t back down—especially when it comes to the land her family has protected for generations.
So when a development outside Prairie Grove uncovers an ancient skeleton, she’s ready to fight the archaeological dig just as hard.
She’s just not ready for Joshua RomanNose.
He’s calm where she’s fire. Careful where she’s stubborn. And far more interested in understanding the past than exploiting it.
Joshua’s used to resistance. What he’s not used to is staying.
But between the dig, the town watching his every move, and the foster kid suddenly depending on him for something steady, walking away isn’t as simple as it should be.
Especially when Enola refuses to.
As the excavation uncovers pieces of Prairie Grove’s past, old stories the town has repeated for generations suddenly feel a little less like stories.
The deeper Joshua digs, the harder it becomes to ignore what’s surfacing—not just in the ground, but in Enola herself.
Dreams that feel like memories. Pulls she can’t explain. And a past that refuses to stay buried.
Prairie Grove is starting to take sides. And for the first time, Enola isn’t sure which one she’s on.
Because protecting the land has always been simple.
Trusting the man determined to uncover it? That’s where everything starts to shift.
And letting him in might change more than just the past.
For readers who enjoy Devney Perry style small town romance, where belief, folklore, rumor, and history shape the story as much as the characters do.
