Hunter's Past — Bev Magee

Hunter Tilton thought his life was perfect. A job he loved and a woman who loved him. But people from both their pasts threatened to tear them apart. Colton Dagon wanted a trophy wife and he thought he found her in Nitika Brodie. When he found his woman in the arms of another man, Colton devised a plan to force Hunter out of her life.

Dying father or not, Nitika wasn't about to let Hunter get away from her that easily. Using her skills learned from working for Allan Pinkerton, she followed Hunter to his childhood home. Once there she found a money hungry ex-fiancé trying to get her hooks back in her man. No one did that to Nitika.

Caught up in the scheme, Brady Huntington Sr thought he found a treasure chest when he joined forces with Colton Dagon. All he had to do was convince his oldest son that he was dying. Once Colton had his wife, Huntington would be a partner in the biggest cattle ranch in New Mexico. Nitika wasn't about to let that happen.
