Perfect for you if...

You love second-chance romance where characters start with ulterior motives but genuinely fall for each other.
You're drawn to small-town settings with family drama, legacy conflicts, and the tension between duty and desire.
You appreciate military heroes with real flaws who learn that love matters more than getting their way.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow burns without physical chemistry early on; this book moves into intimacy once the fake relationship begins.
You're looking for a standalone; this is book one in a series and ends with threads to the next story.
You want a heroine without complications; Dakota has her own messy problems that drive much of the plot.

About this book

A soldier, cattle rancher, and member of the Hayden family stands to inherit the family's cattle company—if not for an outdated family rule. When Dakota Wright arrives to purchase and develop twenty acres of Hayden land, he sees an opportunity to work around the restriction. Dakota faces her own significant problem. The two strike a pair of deals: one involving the land, and another designed to solve both their difficulties. What begins as a calculated arrangement quickly becomes complicated when his priorities shift beyond his original goal. As circumstances unravel, he discovers that his ambitions have expanded beyond the ranch and his country. He wants everything—including her.
