I marry her to keep the land from falling.
That’s the line I feed her.
The truth is uglier.
I see her at that gate, chin high, ready to burn the whole valley down before she loses it, and something in me locks.
She thinks the contract is temporary.
She thinks equal partners means she still gets to walk away when the ninety days are up.
She has no idea what it means when a man like me puts his name beside hers.
She rides my pastures like she already owns them.
She looks at me like I’m the only wall left between her and losing everything.
She’s right.
I don’t do easy.
I don’t do gentle.
And I don’t let go of what’s mine.
She’s in my house now.
Under my roof.
Wearing my ring.
The papers say business.
But my blood says claim.
Read on for marriage of convenience, forced proximity, grumpy rancher obsession, land-as-legacy, and a man who turns a paper deal into forever. HEA Guaranteed!
