Bride For The Grumpy Rancher
(2026)(The second book in the Montana Wild series)
A novel by Emma Haven
I agreed to a marriage of convenience with my sister''s best friend … the woman I’ve secretly loved for years.
Tessa needs a husband to access her trust fund and buy the salon she’s always wanted. Six months, then we’ll quietly sign the divorce papers.
Simple enough. Except I''m in love with her.
It might be manageable if she didn’t need a place to stay until her apartment is ready.
Now, she'''s sleeping down the hall.
Worse, she fits right in.
She chases an escaped calf through the mud, slips extra bacon onto my plate, and reminds me why I fell for her in the first place.
Still manageable. Barely.
Until I kiss her.
And she kisses me back.
That’s a problem.
Because that’s the kind of thing that can give a man ideas.
But there’s still a date on the calendar when this ends.
And when that day comes, I might have to do the one thing I’m not sure I can handle—let Tessa go.
Tropes: Marriage of Convenience, Best Friend’s Brother, Secret Crush, Forced Proximity, Grumpy/Sunshine, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Western Rancher romance.
Heat level: Sweet romance with kisses only on the page and a closed-door/fade-to-black scene between the married couple. No explicit sexual content.
Genre: Romance
