The Wild Between Us by Nicola Hayes

Fourteen years ago, I left him bleeding under the stars and told myself it was mercy.

Now I’m back in Copper Creek—the town that remembers everything and the man who never forgave me.
Wyatt Blackwood. My first love. My last heartbreak.
He’s all grown up now—grit, muscle, and control wrapped in a Stetson. The kind of man who could ruin me with a look.
He runs the Blackwood Ranch like a kingdom. I’m the consultant sent to modernize it—his empire, his rules, my intrusion.
He hates every second of it.
I hate how much I still want him.
Every argument sparks. Every touch burns. And one reckless storm night brings everything we buried roaring back to life.
But the secret I’ve kept could destroy him—and the legacy he’s built from the ashes I left behind.
He thinks I left because I stopped loving him.
God help me… I left because I loved him too damn much.

The Wild Between Us is a scorching, emotional second-chance cowboy romance about pride, passion, and the kind of love that can’t be tamed.
