His lasso binds cattle, her lasso binds hearts. When a bruja ropes a cowboy, sparks fly and secrets don’t stand a chance.

Latina witch Marisol Vega has one job: protect Santa Perdida and the ancestral well her family guards. The town’s in the crosshairs of a ruthless water baron and a string of dust-devil hexes that feel personal. Enter Cade Callahan — grit, scars, and a Stetson tipped back like a dare. Rumor says his spurs go hot when trouble’s near. Marisol learns the truth the moment her sigil-lit lasso wraps his bare chest: Cade isn’t the enemy… he’s the key to breaking a century-old curse.

Forced into an uneasy partnership — and a very small bunkhouse — Marisol and Cade hunt the sorcerer poisoning the desert. Every clue pulls them closer. Every brush of skin tightens the lasso’s bind, a spell that answers only to honesty…and desire. To save the town and her legacy, Marisol must decide if she can trust the one man whose touch ignites her magic and his haunted heart.

Perfect for readers who love:
• Latina witch heroines, cowboy heroes, and wild-west magic
• Enemies-to-lovers → partners-in-crime-fighting
• Forced proximity, one bed, and slow burn that turns scorching
• Protective, wounded hero × clever, confident bruja
• Small-town stakes, found family, bilingual banter, and a guaranteed HEA

Spice level: Scorching
