His Cowboy Sunset Kiss: A Forbidden Age Gap Romance of Dust & Desire. His Claim Series

He's the man the town calls dangerous. She's the girl who came to disappear. One summer under a bleeding Texas sky, one kiss at sunset-and nothing stays quiet. Everly Quinn takes the sheriff's offer of a loft and silence-paint, breathe, tell no one why she ran. The ranch comes with Beckett Rhodes: 38, scarred, rules written in gravel-no talking, no trespassing, no getting close. The problem is the heat that prowls between them, all storm-charged air and stolen looks.
He isn't gentle. He doesn't pretend to be good. The land remembers what he's lost, and the town keeps its distance. But Everly sees the man beneath the dust and regret; in her hands, the empty house fills with color, and in his, her pulse relearns a steadier beat. What starts as an uneasy truce ignites into a slow, scorching claim-barn-dark kisses, rain-soaked nights, a mouth that tastes like sin and home.
Loving Beckett means stepping into a past that bites back and a future that asks for more than survival: it asks for choosing each other in the light. Forbidden age gap. Grumpy, possessive cowboy. Artist who won't run. Small-town heat, wide-open skies, and the kind of touch that turns ruin into redemption. When the dust settles, will they be brave enough to call it love?
