He was her best friend's incredibly annoying older brother—so what was he doing in her driveway, unconscious, during a fast-approaching icy winter storm? There was no way she could leave him behind. Calloway Grady woke up…in hell. Tyler hell. The kind filled with redheaded she-devil Tylers of every age. Nine of them, each one more feral than the next. Including the ring-leader, Augusta Dawn. Auggie had once accused him of coming after her land, and his little sister's bestie hadn't exactly liked him much before that. Now, thanks to the storm, he was stuck right where he was. He could handle that—because he'd just realized Auggie was the most fascinating, the hottest, most maddening woman in all of Masterson County. And now Cal wanted little Auggie Tyler like he had never wanted a woman before—so how was he going to get her now? She didn't exactly like him much—and until that moment, the feeling had been entirely mutual! Just her luck. Calloway Grady was camping on her couch. Auggie Tyler was hyper-focused on helping her traumatized little sisters heal from their father's abuse and cruelty. She'd only had the girls for five months. Life was just too much chaos right now to add in a man like Calloway. She'd pushed hard to get where she was now—for her baby sisters, those precious little girls she would do anything to protect. To help them not be so afraid now. Even if Auggie was holding on by a thread no one knew about. Then Cal was just there. Right there whenever she'd need him most. Auggie watched him with her little girls and remembered the boy he had been before. Remembered how much he had loved his family before his mother's death—and before his own father had gone off the deep end and nearly killed three people. So what was she going to do with Calloway now? The one man who looked past her scars to who the real Augusta Tyler was beneath? The man who had real scars of his own, too? Auggie and Cal weren't the only ones in Masterson County who had scars from the past. Sometimes the scars weren't scars at all. Sometimes they were open wounds… And Cal might just get pulled into the middle of a fight he never saw coming. One that could take from him, or Auggie, exactly what matters most.
