Sarah Jac Crow and James Holt have fallen in love working in the endless fields that span a bone-dry Southwest in the near-future--a land that's a little bit magical, deeply dangerous, and bursting with secrets. To protect themselves, they've learned to work hard and--above all--keep their love hidden from the people who might use it against them. Then, just when Sarah Jac and James have settled in and begun saving money for the home they dream of near the coast, a horrible accident sends them on the run. With no choice but to start over on a new, possibly cursed ranch, the delicate balance of their lives begins to give way--and they may have to pay a frighteningly high price for their love.

Sarah and James have been two against the world for a long time, but at this new farm past troubles seem to be catching up with them.
I'm trying to work on my one sentence reviews this year - I donno. Climate changed dystopia, runaway field hands, old dreams and traumas, betrayal from those closest - this story is very ‘ this happens, this happens, then this happens' and looking back on it it doesn't hang together too well. the ending made me grumpy
