Always Have, Always Will

Zion National Park

 

She was his sister’s best friend. He was the boy she could never have.

Now, they're back in each other's orbit - with years of tension, heartbreak, and unfinished business burning beneath the surface.

When Sadie rolls into Southern Utah in her home-on-wheels for her best friend’s wedding, she’s ready to keep things simple. Be the good maid of honor. Keep her heart guarded. And definitely stay far, far away from Wes Taylor - the one man who’s haunted her every mile of the road.

Wes has made a quiet life in southern Utah - repairing things, hanging with his rescue dog, avoiding feelings. But when Sadie crashes back into his world, fiery, free-spirited, and completely off-limits, he starts to wonder if the life he’s built is really living at all.

Under the desert stars, everything feels closer. Even the mistakes they tried to leave behind.

Love was never the plan. But sometimes the wildest detours lead you right back home.

Plan On Me

Canyonlands National Park

 

She’s rebuilding what life broke.

He’s the unexpected piece that fits.

Willa Taylor is starting over in Moab, sober, guarded, and trying to find her footing after a few years that nearly broke her. The chaos is gone, replaced by quiet mornings, sketchbooks, and balancing a job at her sister’s coffee shop with a new opportunity helping teens find their way through the same kind of pain she’s still learning to live with.

Then there’s Carter James. He’s the wilderness therapist who’s supposed to keep things steady - sunny, grounded, and entirely too good at seeing through her walls. What starts as a friendship turns into something deeper. Something neither of them planned.

But Carter has his own lines to hold, and Willa has wounds that don’t heal in straight lines. When snow starts to fall in the desert, they both feel it.. the beauty in what shouldn’t be, and the pull toward something they promised themselves they’d avoid.

Because some things aren’t meant to be planned.
They’re meant to change everything.

All In, No Exit

Capitol Reef National Park

 

She thrives in neon.
He moves in shadows.

Wren is building her own empire on flashing lights and fearless smiles. In Vegas, she controls the room before anyone realizes they’ve stepped into it. Until her father’s past resurfaces with a deal she can’t ignore.

Luca is quiet where she’s fire - steady hands, sharp eyes, and a body built for restraint. He’s spent his life cleaning up other men’s mistakes. When an old land deal forces their families into a dangerous alliance, he’s prepared for strategy - not her.

What begins as a forced marriage meant to settle decades’ old feuds quickly spirals into betrayal and a desperate escape to the wild heart of Utah. Under peach trees and desert skies, the noise falls away - and what’s left is raw, undeniable, and terrifyingly real.

But what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas.

When secrets surface and alliances collapse, Wren and Luca are forced to decide whether to preserve the legacy soaked in blood… or risk everything to rewrite it together.

Love You, Mean It

Arches National Park

 

She lost the love of her life, and never planned on finding another.

Lainey Taylor is doing her best to start over in Moab - raising her son, giving new life to a coffee shop, and keeping her heart off-limits. Love was buried with her husband, and she’s not about to risk that kind of hurt again.

Then she meets Jack Wilder. A rule-following park ranger with a positive outlook, a crooked smile, and a way of showing up just when she needs him most. He’s patient. He’s steady. And worse - he’s good with her son.

Lainey swore she wouldn’t fall. Jack swore he wouldn’t let her go.

When the desert has a way of unearthing truths you’d rather keep buried… what happens when the one man you can’t resist is the one man you’re terrified to love?
