She won’t marry him without justice.
He must marry her to find redemption.
In a small frontier town, both come at a price.
While the frontier town of 1886 Washington Territory bustles with plans for Independence Day festivities and a glittering Grand Ball, heiress Margot Bankston’s happily-ever-after stalls the moment she steps off the steamboat—her groom is late, bruised, and bears all the marks of a barroom brawl.
Had Lincoln Outlaw lied about his upright character? Margot refuses to chain her future to deception. But her priceless family heirloom—meant to grace her neck on her wedding day—was stolen and that same rugged Texas cattleman must help her scour the town to recover it.
Lincoln needs a respectable bride, a fresh start, and a prize Hereford bull to pull his struggling family ranch out of the dust. But every hour he spends hunting Margot’s missing jewel puts him one step closer to losing the auction…and exposing secrets he’s sworn never to reveal.
As Margot and Lincoln comb Wild Rose Ridge—from logging camps to dress shops—sparks fly, suspicions crumble, and the promise of a happy marriage becomes harder to resist.
But when the bride who once jilted Lincoln sweeps back into town, begging for forgiveness and stirring up old scandal, Margot must decide:
Will she walk away in the name of justice, or take the greatest risk of all—trusting a man with her heart and her legacy?
