Dawson's Way

This book was originally released under another pen name. I'm excited to share it again—now published as Patti Ann Stafford.

Dawson's Way
When a jaded reporter and a guarded rancher confront their past, will love rewrite their story—or tear them apart?Anna Rhodes, a fiery big-city journalist, is sent to Nowhere, Arizona, to cover a story she'd rather forget: a horse rancher's rise to glory. But when she discovers the rugged Jeb Dawson is the man who broke her heart years ago, old wounds ignite a fiery clash of wills.

Determined to prove herself, Anna dives into a dangerous investigation, uncovering a web of greed spun by a ruthless land baron whose secret fracking threatens the town's heart. Jeb, a former lawman haunted by loss, wants nothing to do with Anna's relentless pursuit—or the memories of the love he left behind. Yet as sinkholes swallow his land and Anna's courage reignites his sense of justice, their shared past pulls them closer. In the dusty glow of Arizona sunsets, can they heal old scars and fight for a future together? Or will the shadows of betrayal and danger tear them apart?

Perfect for fans of second-chance romance and small-town secrets, Dawson's Way is a heart-pounding, heart-melting tale of love, redemption, and standing up to injustice.
