One reckless mistake. Two lives upended. Can an unwanted marriage turn into a lasting love-before danger tears them apart?
Nettie Clayton's carefully planned future unravels in an instant when Josh McClintock, in a drunken error, mistakes her window for that of her rowdy neighbor. The fallout costs Nettie her teaching job, her reputation, and her father's respect-all because of Josh's carelessness. Though she's long harbored a secret crush on him, Nettie never imagined her life would be tied to his by scandal.
Josh McClintock has always worked hard and played harder, with no intention of settling down for years. But one wild night ends his freedom and forces him and Nettie into an unwanted marriage neither of them planned. As they struggle to adjust to their new reality, a vengeful villain sets his sights on the McClintock family, putting both Nettie and Josh in grave danger.
Can these reluctant newlyweds overcome resentment and fear to forge a true partnership-and discover a love strong enough to withstand every trial?
Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, marriage of convenience romance, Texas ranch romance, reluctant bride stories, romantic suspense westerns, strong heroine tales, and second chance at love.
