Rancher's Creed — Alyssa Bailey

Successful rancher, Ciarán O'Connor, lives his life by established principles and his fiancée, Katherine Franklin shares those standards. They seem to have everything a young couple dreams of; a new home, money, family, security, and an agreed upon lifestyle that might not fit everyone, but it fits them. Katie knows honesty is important but everyone has secrets, right? Only a fool would jeopardize paradise to reveal they've been to hell first. Then why is she so miserable keeping this one?

Ciarán has always known is girl had secrets. He was willing to wait until she was ready to share. His concerns escalate as she becomes more and more withdrawn. He wants nothing more than to make life perfect for her, but he can't do it alone. It requires her to believe he will love her through her past. Ciarán knows that the love they share is strong enough to fight Katherine's demons, but can she trust in them enough to take a chance?
