The Cowboy's Bluff (The Worthingtons Bluff Cowboys)

She came home to bury her father. She didn't expect a proposal from the one man she'd never stopped wanting. Evie Bennett ran from Wyoming ten years ago and never looked back. Now she's broke, broken, and standing at her father's grave wondering how everything went so wrong. The ranch is falling apart. The debts are piling up. And thanks to her father's final act of spite, she can't sell to the one person who actually wants to buy. Joel Worthington. Brooding. Infuriating. Richer than sin and twice as tempting. The same man Evie spent senior year pretending not to notice while he watched her like she was a puzzle he wanted to solve. When a corporate developer threatens both their legacies, Joel makes her an offer she can't refuse: marry him. Keep her ranch. Save his water rights. Walk away in a year with everything she needs to start over. Simple. Practical. Completely insane. Because living in Joel's house means sharing his kitchen. His mornings. His bed... eventually. And the longer Evie stays, the harder it becomes to remember this is all fake. He touches her like she's real. He looks at her like she's his. He says things in that gravel-rough voice that make her forget she ever planned to leave. But Evie knows better than to trust forever. She's been abandoned before. And Joel Worthington, with his seventy-five thousand acres and his heart locked up tighter than Fort Knox, might be the one man who could break her for good. The Cowboy"s Bluff is a steamy contemporary western romance featuring a grumpy billionaire rancher, a marriage of convenience that gets very inconvenient, and a happily ever after worth fighting for.
