    Summary

    Jon Snow has spent seven years in the oilfields, living out of his truck, working himself to the bone after losing his mother and the only home he ever knew. When the company that watched him grow up offers him a second chance—college, fully paid—he takes it, driving south to the University of Texas with nothing but a duffel bag, his granddad’s watch, and a past he’s trying to outrun.

    Alicent Hightower has never been allowed to choose her own future. Raised in Boston with legacy and expectation, she arrives in Texas carrying her father’s plans instead of her own dreams.

    They meet under burnt orange skies—two people from opposite worlds, both searching for something real.

    Sometimes, the road doesn’t just take you somewhere new.

    Sometimes, it takes you home.
