3.0

<b>No</b> strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• Does have OM drama
- Heroine has left her abusive husband and is figuring out how to file for divorce without endangering herself. The fact that she's still technically married causes issues for the Hero and the ex comes back to cause drama.
• No OW drama
- But, the Hero's most recent ex (it's been a few years) has made him untrusting of women who seek his small town out as a place of refuge
• Does have the Hero pushing the Heroine away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Abusive relationship (scenes of domestic violence on page, including threat of gun violence)
• Death of Hero's mom and grandparent discussed
• Parental abandonment discussed
• Grief
• Branding and castration of cattle on-page and discussed 


Ending:
