Big Sky Reckoning

She had the house. The husband. The La Jolla address. She also had a life so controlled she'd forgotten what her own voice sounded like.

Brooke Ellison doesn't do spontaneous. She does schedules, charity boards, and the kind of marriage where silence passes for peace. But when her best friends invoke the Rosé Rescue Protocol — a wine-glass SOS that means drop everything — she finds herself on a Montana cattle ranch with four women, zero cell service, and a neighboring rancher who looks at her like she's already on fire.

Jack doesn't flirt. He doesn't perform. He just sees her — the real her, underneath two decades of playing the perfect wife. And that terrifies her more than the grizzly warnings.

Meanwhile, Maren — the group's newly single mother — meets Graham, a tech entrepreneur whose charm feels like oxygen after years of drowning. He says all the right things. He remembers every detail. He makes her feel chosen for the first time in her life. But the most dangerous cages are the ones that feel like rescue.

Big Sky Reckoning is the first book in The Rose Rescue Protocol, a mid-life romance trilogy about five women, a wine-glass signal, and the reckoning that begins when you stop performing your own life. Perfect for readers who love Debbie Macomber's cowboy romance, Linda Lael Miller's Montana settings, and Jayne Ann Krentz's slow-burn trust.
