The Cowboy's Unraveling (The Worthingtons Bluff Cowboys Book 2)

Callum Worthington has learned to spot deception after his fiancée's betrayal nearly destroyed his family's empire. When a mysterious horse trainer arrives at Wyoming's 3 Aces Ranch with a scrubbed digital footprint and secrets, his instincts signal danger. The woman calling herself Alicia Morgan is actually Emmaline Beaumont, an heiress in hiding. She has six months until her twenty-fifth birthday frees her from her aunt and uncle's control and an unwanted arranged marriage. The remote ranch is meant to be her refuge, but Callum's relentless suspicion threatens her cover. Their encounters are charged with tension—from an unexpected morning in bed together to escalating battles of will. As Callum's suspicion deepens, so does his desire for her. Emmaline, unaccustomed to being touched with warmth rather than purpose, finds herself feeling safe in his arms despite her fear. When she's forced into public view at the World Championship show, her constructed identity begins to collapse. Callum must decide whether she has deceived him again or if she is worth the risk.
