    Summary

    She threatened him the first time they met.

    Joel Miller, gruff and guarded at 52, wasn’t used to being warned off with a knife to his throat by a 25 year old stable girl with a German shepherd named Willie and a gaze that didn’t flinch.

    But after Salt Lake City, after the Fireflies, after everything, Jackson becomes home. And she’s still there. Still wild, still wary. Only now, Joel can’t stop looking.

    Loving each other might be the scariest thing they’ve ever done.
