In the sunburned border town of Perdición, where the wind carries secrets and the desert never forgets, a runaway preacher’s daughter hides behind a new name. Eliza Grace wants more than safety she wants a life that’s hers alone, far from sermons that caged her and an illness she refuses to give voice to.
Rafael Cortez, a half-Mexican bounty hunter with too many ghosts, never planned to stay in Perdición. He’s lived by the road, by loss, by keeping distance. But the quiet woman working at the apothecary unsettles him. Her silence says more than most words ever could.
As they edge closer, Eliza’s past begins to surface bringing danger that threatens the fragile peace she’s built. And when protection turns into something deeper, Rafael has to choose: keep moving like he always has, or root himself in a place, and with a woman, he never expected.
In a land that remembers every step, can love take hold or will it vanish like dust in the wind?
