Sawyer Ludington has every reason to hate the Knott family.

They’re threatening his family’s land. They’re tied to an old rivalry he knows far too much about. And they represent everything he’s spent his life pushing back against.

So when he finally tracks down the woman he couldn’t stop thinking about after the annual festival, the truth hits hard—she’s a Knott.

Everest Knott has always known of Sawyer Ludington. He’s older. Untouchable. From a world she was never meant to cross into. Flirting with him at the festival was supposed to be harmless fun… until the kiss that shattered every careful boundary she had in place.

Now Sawyer can’t seem to escape her.

Everywhere he turns, Everest is there—laughing, challenging him, drawing out a side of him he didn’t know existed. He knows he should walk away. Being with her would mean betraying his family, his principles, and everything he stands for.

But resisting Everest Knott might be the one thing Sawyer Ludington was never built to do.
