The Farmhand

Carter Harris didn't come to the Hayes farm looking for redemption.He came for leverage.The job should have been simple: gain the family's trust, locate the financial vulnerability buried inside their generational wealth, and disappear before anyone realized what he'd taken. Carter has built his entire life on precision-quiet manipulation, careful timing, and exits no one sees coming.But the Hayes family isn't what he expected.Especially Brooke.Brooke Hayes grew up on the land her family fought to protect. She's observant, stubborn, and far too perceptive for Carter's carefully controlled plan. What starts as proximity turns into something dangerous-an attraction Carter can't afford and Brooke can't ignore.For the first time in years, Carter hesitates.And hesitation is a mistake.Because the man Carter once worked beside isn't willing to walk away from the score. When intimidation escalates into sabotage and violence begins creeping onto the farm, the quiet life Brooke's family built becomes a battlefield.Now Carter is trapped between two choices he never planned for.Finish the job and destroy the people who trusted him.Or protect them-and unleash a man who knows exactly how to ruin lives.The Hayes farm was supposed to be his final job.Instead, it may become the one place he can't escape.
