Seeing Red: Newheart Cowboys

by Aisling Storm

As a neurodivergent neuroscientist, logic has always been the lens through which Rose Montgomery views the world. When trauma changed everything for her as a young child and brought her to her Grandparents’ ranch in the small town of Newheart, Texas, she found solace in science. As an adult, she has now built her research foundation on the awareness that trauma affects mass outcomes in populations. And she would rather never see Max again, not after the way things ended between them. Maxwell Anderson is the middle son of wealthy ranchers who settled in Newheart, Texas, many generations ago. But when he fell in love with his best friend’s sister as a randy young cowboy, escaping to the Marines was how he found his way out of the small town and out of his family’s ranching business. He had spent ten long years avoiding Red—er, Rose, but now he’s back around, and just in time to protect Rose, who has become the target of an unknown terrorist. When a traumatic encounter leads to rekindling a long-lost and forbidden passion, will they be able to find love? Will exploring the intense fire of Domination and submission light the pathway to a future together? Or will they forever run from one another because of their past? Come along with Max and Rose and get to know the little town of Newheart, Texas, where the sweet tea flows freely, everyone is welcome, and big hearts fall in love in spite of the odds.

About the author

Aisling Storm believes in the power of dreams—even the ones that once felt impossible. As a neurodivergent teen entering the foster care system, she couldn’t always imagine a future filled with hope. But it was during that time she wrote her first romance, passing it among friends who begged for more. She never expected to share her stories publicly again—until she did.

Now, Aisling writes emotionally rich, character-driven romance that centers mental health, neurodivergence, and love that feels like home. Her stories often explore resilience, soft kink, and diverse couples navigating real-life challenges with tenderness and fire. Her goal: to reflect the strength and complexity of those who don’t often see themselves in traditional love stories.

Aisling has contributed to research with other mental health authors, but fantasy and romance will always have her heart. She lives in the city with her found fur-family and loves exploring farmers markets and antique stores—when her pets let her escape.
