Grief over Marla’s death unravels the Fletcher family—Amanda, Lucyann, and Jeff—whose bonds fray into forbidden desires under the prairie’s isolating heat. Amanda, 18, channels her pain into horses, her rumored lips a whispered legend, while city-hardened Lucyann battles debts and shameful hungers. Jeff, their rugged stepfather, wrestles with primal urges, and Tanner, a volatile outsider, ignites their unraveling. Each chapter, mirroring a Heartland episode, weaves gritty passion, dominance, and suspense, with steamy encounters—oral, spanking, and more—escalating in an explosion of lust and loss. A mysterious stranger and a shocking secret threaten to save or doom the ranch.
