The Calloway Promise
(2026)(The second book in the Calloway Brothers of Montana series)
A novel by Alexx Andria and Kristi Avalon
A billionaire cowboy. A struggling wildlife veterinarian. One fake-dating arrangement that
was never supposed to become real.
Delaney Brooks has spent years pouring everything into her wildlife rescue, leaving nothing for
herself. No savings. No safety net. No room to breathe.
Then she crashes her truck through a fence on Calloway Ranch while wrangling a stray mastiff
the size of a small horse—and billionaire rancher Clay Calloway makes her an offer she can’t
afford to refuse.
He’ll build her a state-of-the-art wildlife sanctuary on seventy acres of his Montana ranch if she
agrees to pose as his girlfriend for the social season.
Clean terms. Clear boundaries. A definite expiration date.
She can handle that.
What she can’t handle is Clay.
Clay wants one thing: to be left alone by the women circling the Calloway fortune. Delaney is
the perfect solution because she doesn’t want his money, his name, or anything else he can give
her.
Which is exactly why he can’t stop wanting to give her everything.
Somewhere between forced proximity, rescued animals, quiet Montana nights, and kisses on the
porch swing, Clay stops pretending. He’s falling first, falling hard, and wants the one thing their
fake-dating arrangement can’t guarantee: Delaney choosing him when she’s finally free to walk
away.
Delaney has spent her whole life being the one who rescues. Clay is the first man steady enough
to let her lean without asking her to become smaller in return.
But when their arrangement reaches its expiration date, she’ll have to decide if loving someone
means losing the independence she fought so hard to protect—or finally finding somewhere safe
enough to stay.
