Kitty Mayfield is so close to getting her dream salon in the green. But every time they make progress, something unfortunate happens. The story of her life. This time, her sister's runaway husband has taken off with business funds, and the money isn't adding up. Something's not right.

As the oldest Anderson, Nat has always carried the weight of the world on his shoulders when it comes to family, family business, and even their closest friends. When he finds out his old high school wrestling nemesis has run off with the Mayfields' hard-earned money, he won't let him get away with it.

But Kitty and Nat have history, one that no one knows about-not even their closest friends. As they work together, will they stubbornly avoid the passion that sizzles between them? Or will that be the riskiest fight of all?

Welcome to Newheart, Texas-where the lavender sweet tea flows freely, everyone is welcome, and second-chance cowboys burn for keeps.

Aisling Storm writes emotional, imaginative romance for hearts that crave both heat and healing. She's as passionate about writing as she is about thunderstorms, twin moons, and antique treasure hunts. She lives in the city with her found fur-family, and a belief that love will always find a way.
