"The Bride of the Broken Ranch"

Ruth Avery has already lost her husband, her peace, and nearly her land. In the drought-stricken heart of Colorado Territory, she’s fighting to hold onto her family’s ranch, even as deceit and forged papers threaten to strip it all away. With her brother trapped in Zeke’s ruthless gang, a marriage of convenience may be her only way out… and her last chance to keep what’s hers.

Jonas Quinn carries a past he can’t outrun; once a man who worked on the wrong side of the law, he’s come home seeking redemption and a place to belong. When Ruth proposes a marriage of convenience, he agrees, wanting to make peace with the ghosts that haunt him. Yet the closer he gets to her, the harder it is to hide the truth about the man he used to be.

Together, Ruth and Jonas must outwit Zeke Harrow, the ruthless land baron who’s determined to claim what’s theirs using Ruth’s brother as leverage. Will their fragile alliance be enough to save her brother and her family’s ranch – or will Jonas’ past cost them everything, including their chance at love?
