He swore off complications. She ran straight toward them.

Jane Adkins (a.k.a Jane Wreck) has a talent for disaster, including an infamous puking incident that ended her jockey career before it even began. So when her engagement implodes, Jane does the only sensible thing: flees to Colorado, with no plan, no prospects, and a playlist heavy on The Chicks.

She’s searching for wide open spaces.

What she finds is Resilience Ranch, a sanctuary for retired horses tucked into the San Juan Mountains, and its infuriating, magnetic owner, Chet Edwards.

Chet has traded Silicon Valley for solitude, and he’d like to keep it that way. He’s made that perfectly clear. Jane is trying very hard to listen.

She’s failing.

As stolen moments and rides at sunset blur the lines between them, Jane senses that Chet isn’t just brooding for the hell of it–he’s hiding something. Something that could shatter the fragile, reckless hope she’s only just begun to feel.

Award-winning author Laurel Osterkamp returns to Sugar Pine Springs with a sweeping reimagining of Jane Eyre—a story about the wreckage we carry, the truth we owe each other, and a love that emboldens us to stay.
