Stories of family and romance beneath the Big Sky!

The seconds before Maura nodded were torture. “I’d like that, very much.” Ash’s heart pounded in his chest.

Clearly, that was impossible now.

Not when the man coming toward them was one of the most powerful men in the county.

And not when he was Maura’s father.

Unless…somehow, he could convince this woman that, while he wasn’t yet the man she believed him to be, he intended to become that man. Or die trying.
