A marriage between strangers was supposed to solve both their problems. Instead, it may put them both in the path of a killer.
Billionaire Adam Sullivan has built a global technology company, but the sprawling Colorado ranch he shares with his six brothers still doesn’t feel like a home. He wants a wife, children, and someone with whom to build a future. When he meets beautiful Millie Watson in a grocery store, one impulsive question leads them to the courthouse—and into a marriage neither of them expected.
For Millie, becoming Adam’s wife offers more than a new beginning. It gives her a new name, a secluded home, and the protection she desperately needs. But Adam doesn’t know that Millie is hiding from a powerful family or that a dangerous man is searching for her.
As their practical arrangement becomes a real marriage, Millie finds the love and family she never believed she could have. Yet every tender moment is shadowed by the fear that her secrets will destroy Adam’s trust—or bring violence to his door.
Someone is watching the ranch. Security has been breached, and the threat is moving closer. When Millie’s past finally finds her, Adam will risk everything to save the woman he loves. But protecting his wife may require him to survive the truth she has been too frightened to reveal.
Cynthia Woolf is the USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author of eighty-eight romance novels. Comprising sixty-seven historical western romances, twelve contemporary romance novels, two contemporary romance novellas, one historical western romance novella, and six sci-fi space opera romances, which she calls westerns in space. Along with these books, she has also published twelve boxed sets of her books and two short stories.
Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance, Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede, that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy, not a bounty hunter, and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now), not the ranch owner.
Cynthia credits her late husband, Jim, for his love and support which allowed her to explore her creativity.
