Description

Tait Logan spent twenty years staying away from her family’s Idaho ranch. One photography assignment is about to bring her—and everything she left behind—home.

After a devastating divorce and years of estrangement from her family, Tait has worked hard to build a life of her own. Photography became her passion, her career, and the thing that helped her put herself back together.

Then she's offered an assignment she can't easily refuse: photograph Logan Range, the ranch belonging to the family she hasn't truly been part of in decades.

Waiting there is Henry Marcum.

Henry owes everything to the Logan family. They raised him, rescued him, and gave him a home and purpose when he needed both. His loyalty to them runs deep, which means when the long-absent Tait suddenly returns, he doesn't exactly welcome her with open arms.

To Henry, she's the woman who walked away.

To Tait, he's the frustrating cowboy standing between her and the family history she's finally being forced to confront.

Their tension is immediate, prickly—and increasingly difficult to pretend is only irritation.

Because somewhere between resentment and attraction, the line between fighting each other and wanting each other begins to disappear.

Surrounded by the mountains, valleys, and rugged beauty of rural Idaho, Tait must face the family she left behind while Henry confronts where his loyalty truly belongs. Opening themselves to each other could end in another devastating loss.

But staying guarded might mean walking away from something worth coming home for.

Emotional, steamy, and deeply romantic, Rootbound is a warm country romance about family, forgiveness, belonging, and discovering that sometimes putting down roots requires returning to the place you once ran from.
