Trace Miller
I had one ticket out of the suffocating expectations of my powerful Montana ranching family: an escape from the arranged marriage my father had decreed.
But my rebellion takes an unexpected turn when my younger brother steps in to take my place at the altar.
It’s my freedom – until tragedy strikes, and the weight of responsibility crashes down harder than ever.
Katie Brown
I was raised knowing my future wasn’t my own. Promised to a Miller to unite two land-rich dynasties, I steel myself for a loveless union. A stolen night of anonymity offers a fleeting taste of my own freedom before I’m expected to say “I do.”
In the close-knit world of Azure Ridge, Montana, fate has a twisted sense of humor. The land merger demands a marriage, and now, amidst grief and family pressure, Trace finds himself bound to me, the very woman he shares a scorching secret with.
Our marriage is anything but convenient, fraught with unspoken desires, family secrets, and the undeniable chemistry that ignites whenever we’re together.
Can this marriage of necessity blossom into a genuine connection, or will the weight of our families’ expectations and our own tangled pasts tear us apart?
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Trace and Katie. These two have been born and raised in very powerful families. Azure Ridge, Montana is a town that is rich if farm land and two powerful families in the town need to merge to make a land merger happen. Trace is not thrilled that he is going to have to live his life in a marriage this his father has arranged and demands he goes though with. However, he wants no part of this and is rebellious. But when his younger brother steps in to do it he thinks all is going to be well. Until tragedy strikes and he finds himself having to go though with the wedding himself. Kate is a girl who doesn’t want a loveless marriage. One night in a stolen moment she gets a glimpse of what her life could have been like, in a way, if she had her freedom. But, you can imagine her surprise when she finds out that her hookup is the man she is marrying. Now they have a marriage that could turn into a genuine connection that they can build a foundation of this union on. But, with their family demands, will they be able to live up to the expectations? Or, will it tear them apart? I really loved these characters. You are going to fall for them as you are reading this book and will be rooting for them to make it the entire time.
