A Rancher's Reward — J. Margot Critch

While their fake engagement is all business, their attraction is anything but in the debut of J. Margot Critch's series, Heirs of Hardwell Ranch.

He's looking for a marriage of convenience…

With a very inconvenient woman.

To gain control of his grandfather's ranch, Garrett Hardwell needs a fake fiancée. But the deal he offers wedding planner Willa Statler is fraught with complications. Between Garrett's playboy reputation and Willa's history as a runaway bride, the rumor mill is working overtime. Not to mention Garrett's best friend -- Willa's overprotective brother -- doesn't exactly know the truth. But the greatest threat is their unresolved feelings over a red-hot night they shared years ago. Will their fake engagement be sabotaged by very real desire?
