DUST TO GOLD
Indie Garrett is the best water rights attorney in the county. She knows it, her firm knows it, and the Garrett family has known it since she was twenty-five and drove home from Casper to save a ranch she grew up on. She’s been building this particular case — the Garrett south pasture, the creek access, the pump that runs dry every August — for three years. The filing is meticulous. The filing is ready.
She sits in the parking lot for ten minutes before going in.
She’s been in Dust Creek for six weeks doing the groundwork, and she’s been telling herself the complication is manageable. Before the case closes, there will be a man on the opposing side who fixes the three fence posts that are his responsibility without being asked and leaves them exactly as clean as she would have left them, a water survey document that both of them find independently and both of them bring to the mediator on the same day — without knowing the other one would — a summer storm that floods the creek boundary and puts them in the same dark field with no professional reason to still be standing there, and a moment in a county building hallway where he answers the question she didn’t ask out loud with four words that tell her everything she needs to know about what he’s made of.
He’s spent three years running this ranch alone in the particular way of a man who has confused self-sufficiency with not needing anything, and she has spent twelve years being exactly what her family needed and only recently started wondering if that’s the same as what she chose. The case is going to be settled. What neither of them has figured out yet is what happens after.
Wyoming enemies-to-lovers romance with altitude, sage, and a man who says twelve words and means all of them. The kind of book where you start reading to find out who wins the water rights and end up rereading the last chapter twice.
