Her hand on his chin, Lena leaned down and pressed their lips together. Chase groaned, his eyelids flickering. “Me and you are going to tie the knot,” she said. “I’ll be a good wife, dress pretty and make you happy.” He’d be the perfect husband. Smart. Strong. Faithful. Kind and loving, most of all.

She had only to hold out until tomorrow when her plan would come true.

***

Taken at gun point to a remote location, Chase Sawyer’s bachelorhood appears to end. Lena Jessup has chosen him as her husband, whether he’s willing or not. And he isn’t – there’s no love between them, after all. Yet, her desperation somehow grabs hold of his heart.

Lena doesn’t want to marry Arthur Blessing. He’s offensive and vile. Chase, on the other hand, is successful and kind and … a big man. That matters, since she’s so tall. She’s told a lie, fooling her three brothers, to get him here, though. They should realize a man of Chase’s caliber would never do the things she’s said.

Their forced marriage becomes a dangerous game on the ride home. Arthur isn’t ready to give up on her. His reason, however, unearths secrets that her family has tried to hide … a story of her past that, no matter how strong and smart Chase is, might prove to be too much for their already fragile future.
