He needs a wife to save his legacy. I need a fortress to stay alive.Our marriage is a cold contract signed in desperation. He calls it a business arrangement. His touch tells a different story. Beau does not just want my name on a deed. He wants to mark every inch of my skin. He is possessive and primal. He treats me like a prize he won and a treasure he must guard with brutal efficiency.The ranch is a war zone. Duke Cash wants the water rights. Ryder wants my soul. We are trapped together while the world burns outside the gates. A storm is coming to the high canyons. It will either wash away my past or bury us both in the red dirt.
