A marriage of
convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart?
I don’t remember a
time when I didn’t love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he’s ten years
older and my brother’s best friend. After a falling out, we didn’t speak for
years—until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder,
and dragged me “to safety.”
He’s grumpy and
overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I’m shocked to learn
he’s in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from
foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won’t extend the funds unless
he’s married. Only Rhett’s now a single dad with no plans to fall in love
again.
When his brother
suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first
reaction is hell no. I can’t afford to catch feelings for someone who won’t see
me that way.
But spending time at
the ranch reminds me how much is at stake—the family business, the welfare of
Rhett’s children, and the happiness of a man I’ve always longed for.
Rhett says we’ll keep
things platonic in private, even though I’ll be sleeping in his bed. He refuses
to mix business with pleasure.
Except when the
lights go out in his bedroom, our chemistry is too explosive to contain.
Would it be so bad to
fall for Rhett? Or will he steal my heart all over again?
One thing’s for
sure—the clock is ticking on our divorce.
Rhett was just so
freaking stubborn about Paige and caused all sorts of problems in their
relationship. I loved Paige so much. She had so much working against her besides
the injury. Having a crush on her husband was minor compared to everything
else. The pacing in the book was spot on and it kept me reading. Pulled me out
of a reading slump. The reason for knocking it down from a 4 was the will they/won’t
they got old very quickly.
