Years have passed since the stables burned and the boy she loved disappeared. Now, María Inés lives behind stone walls with a son to protect and a husband she never chose. But when a black horse rides into town, bearing a man carved by time and hardened by silence-her world shifts again. Santiago has returned. He's bought the neighboring hacienda. Claimed the land. Called in debts. And taken a quiet interest in her son.
As tensions rise between rival ranches, secrets burn beneath the surface. A sacred spring sparks conflict between cowboys and native clans. And when gunfire erupts at an ambush gone wrong, María and Santiago must decide: is this love worth destroying what's left of everything?Because on this land, nothing stays buried. Not the past. Not the pain. And certainly not the fire still smoldering between them.
