A battle-hardened cowboy and a disgraced Manhattan heiress agree to a marriage of convenience—but forcing a city princess and an alpha rancher under one roof may be the most dangerous bargain either of them has ever made.
When ex-Army Ranger Elijah Tremain returns from a disastrous mission, the promise he made to his brothers-in-arms shatters. The ranch he inherited—the sanctuary he'd planned to build for broken soldiers—comes buried beneath crushing debt. Now his only hope lies in marrying the last woman he'd ever invite into his world.
After one mistaken arrest costs Sadie Davidson the career she's spent her life chasing because her father is convinced she's no longer fit to inherit his empire. He offers her one way to reclaim her trust fund: say "I do" to a stoic rancher who needs a bailout…and who seems to like her even less than the tabloids do.
One year. One roof. One fake marriage. It should have been simple—until every heated argument sparks undeniable chemistry, every stolen touch leaves them wanting more, and their make-believe marriage attracts the attention of someone determined to make sure it doesn't last.
Fans of Elsie Silver and Susan Stoker will love the protective alphas, reluctant heroines, and found family of The Shattered Heroes series.
