He got a lot more than what he signed up for... Colton Westbrook never thought he'd find himself in this position. At forty, the once-thriving cowboy is struggling to keep his family ranch afloat after his father's death. The weight of responsibility presses on him, and the crushing loneliness only makes it worse. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Colton takes a bold step-he signs up for a mail-order bride service. It's not about love, it's about survival. Across the country, Samantha "Sam" Davis is trying to rebuild her life after losing her father in a tragic accident. She's just twenty-five, but with no job and no family left to turn to, Sam's prospects are bleak. A mail-order bride ad promises a fresh start-stability and companionship, something she's craved for too long. When Colton and Sam's profiles match, it's far from a perfect fit, but after exchanging a few awkward messages, Colton suggests a marriage of convenience. He offers her a place on his ranch in exchange for companionship. Sam, with little to lose, agrees. What neither of them expected was the instant attraction between them. It may have started as a marriage of convenience, but this grumpy cowboy is utterly obsessed with his curvy mail order bride, and he'll do whatever it takes to make her fall in love with him!
