He offered to throw hay to run from his past. She needed a body to save her family land. Neither expected the heat rising between them...
Mara Vale is on a clock. With ninety days to cure a $187,000 default notice and four hundred head of cattle to move before her grass burns out, the last thing she has time for is distraction. She's bruised, fiercely independent, and holding together her father's West Texas ranch on coffee, stubbornness, and grit.
Then he rolls up her caliche road.
Beau Lorne is too clean-handed for a drifter, too well-spoken for day work, and carries a quiet sorrow in his dark blue eyes that warns her to keep her guard up. But he's got strong hands, knows how to throw bales, and works without complaining. Mara gives him a two-week trial-and a clear boundary: no distractions.
What Mara doesn't know is that Beau is actually Bastien Lorne, a grieving billionaire heir fleeing a high-stakes empire in Canada after a family tragedy. Seeking anonymity and a quiet place to breathe, he never planned on becoming useful-and he certainly didn't plan on falling for a fierce rancher who doesn't know he holds the wealth to buy her ranch five times over.
As dust, storms, and late-night kitchen coffee build an undeniable connection, the secret Bastien is keeping threatens to shatter the trust Mara spent weeks rebuilding. Can an undercover billionaire save the ranch without losing the only woman who ever loved him for the man he truly is?
