In the dust of a modern cattle ranch, a girl with wrangler dreams and her childhood protector build a bond that falters under unvoiced desires. On a sprawling modern cattle ranch, two kids bound by loss forge an unbreakable bond. After losing his mother when he was only ten years old, Brandt wants nothing to do with the fatherless five-year-old ragamuffin, Mazie, whose mother runs the ranch house. But as years of dust and dreams shape them, he becomes her protector, and she his constant shadow, chasing her goal to wrangle cattle alongside him. Their friendship is unshakable until one reckless night sparks a truth Brandt has always known: he loves her. Mazie can't see past their childhood bond, and the rift tears them apart. Several years later, with the ranch as the only home they've known, they must confront their past, their pain, and the love that's waited years to claim its truth. A story of resilience, loyalty, and a romance forged in the grit of the open range, spanning years of heartache and hope. "Beyond the Fence Line" is a romantic drama with some scenes of violence, moderate foul language, and intense sexual situations. Holly Copella books do not contain graphic sex scenes.
