When the Smoke Clears

In Wildhaven, betrayal runs deeper than loyalty and love-and the secrets of one family refuse to stay buried.

Ten years ago, Isla Rae left without a word, swearing she'd never return to the hometown she loved or the boy who shattered her heart. But when her mother's death brings her back, Isla's forced to face the memories she's spent a decade trying to forget.

Luke Wild never forgave her. Now the town's sheriff, he carries both the weight of duty and the scar she left behind. Despite his vow to never let her close again, one touch threatens to burn down every wall between them-and reignites a fire they might not survive. Because second chances come with risks, and facing the past could cost them everything.

Fans of Catherine Cowles and Devney Perry will devour When the Smoke Clears, a steamy, emotional romance full of heartbreak, family drama, and relationships worth fighting for.
