UNDER THE SAME SKY

When Harper Lane returns to the desert to settle her estranged father's estate, she expects paperwork, grief, and silence-not an abandoned observatory, a wildfire racing toward the ridge, and a man who looks at her like he's been waiting for a storm.

Noah Cruz runs Red River Observatory with two rules: protect the work and keep people at a distance. He's already lost everything once-his wife, his future, and his faith that love survives disaster. The last thing he needs is Harper: a sharp, guarded corporate woman with a broken past and her father's secrets in her hands.

But the night Harper arrives, the fire isn't the only threat.

A ruthless fixer wants what Harper's father stole-proof of a powerful network willing to burn buildings, reputations, and people to keep the truth buried. Trapped by smoke, hunted by strangers, and pushed into impossible choices, Harper and Noah are forced into the kind of closeness neither of them trusts.

Because sometimes love doesn't arrive as a fairy tale.

Sometimes it shows up as a hand held in the dark, a promise asked instead of taken, and a choice made again and again-under the same sky.

Under the Same Sky is a consent-forward, emotional slow-burn romance with romantic suspense featuring:

• forced proximity during a wildfire evacuation
• a grumpy, protective hero with a painful past
• a resilient heroine who chooses courage over comfort
• secrets, danger, and a high-stakes public truth
• a guaranteed HEA built on trust and daily choice
