__Welcome to Burning Dress Ranch, where some women come to heal...and others come to hide.__Pearl Pickett is a woman with a secret-and a warrant out for her arrest. On the run and desperate for a place to disappear, she stumbles across Burning Dress Ranch, where the mysterious Miss Sally offers her shelter...and a second chance. Pearl plans to stay quiet, keep her head down, and vanish when the time is right.

But Rodrigo Garcia, a stoic widower and protective father, isn't about to make things easy. Guarded and gruff, he doesn't want help from a sharp-tongued horse thief...especially not one who's clearly hiding something. Yet Pearl's uncanny gift with horses-and her growing bond with Rodrigo's young son-begin to chip away at the walls around his heart.

As sparks fly and pasts collide, Pearl and Rodrigo must each decide what's worth holding on to-and what's finally safe to let go of.

Is she just a thief in the night...or the answer to a prayer neither dared to voice?
