Synopsis

Return to Maisey Yates’s fan-favorite Four Corners for a marriage of convenience between two unlikely souls—a hopeless romantic and a man who has long given up hope

When Alaina finds herself pregnant and alone, she knows she’s in a tight spot. Small towns like hers tend to raise eyebrows at unwed mothers, and she knows the vicious gossip mill will soon be churning. Thankfully, her ruggedly stoic childhood protector, Gus McCloud, knows a thing or two about guarding secrets. Offering Alaina a marriage on paper is the least he can do.

As a hardworking rancher, Gus is well equipped to provide for Alaina and her baby. And despite plans for a solitary life, he wants to. He knows what it’s like to be an outsider, especially after a traumatic childhood left him with scars inside and out. Alaina has long dreamed of a fairy-tale romance, but as the growing fire between her and Gus starts feeling real enough to burn, she questions what that means. Maybe her fake marriage to Gus is the real love she’s been missing all along.

All through this series, I knew Gus would break my heart. I was right. He’s a character you want to take back to childhood and give him love and affection and, most of all, protection.

This is the 4th book in the Four Corners Series and the first I read. Definitely can be read as a standalone but this was so good I will be backtracking to read the previous books.

ARC received from Netgalley As I was reading this and got more involved I realized why I was enjoying it so much. Yes, I loved the characters - Gus is someone I could definitely spend time with. And the story itself, whereas slightly predictable is thoroughly enjoyable. But for me this was all about......more

Goodreads review by Marcia

I don't understand why so many western romances have the baby boomer generation being so abusive to their children, as I have been reading too many of them from this author and others. I hope it isn't a real thing, as I am a baby boomer and I don't think that is what we were about. I did not read the......more

Goodreads review by Jenn

I haven't struggled so hard to finish a book in a long time. I would've DNF'd it at 23% if I wasn't holding out hope for more of a storyline, and I liked the male lead. The entire book was about their own childhood trauma and how they couldn't move past it, unless it was to get it on.......more
