Wicked Cowboy

He’s a billionaire cowboy with a past he can’t outrun. She’s the ER nurse who just became his only hope.

Carter Rockson is a Rockefeller descendant who traded boarding schools for the Navy SEALs to escape his family’s gold-encrusted legacy. But when his best friend dies in a tragic accident, Carter is left with a final mission: protecting his friend’s daughter, Chelsea. To keep her on the Rockson ranch in Texas, he needs more than money, he needs a wife.

Ridley Steel is a dedicated nurse used to the high-stakes chaos of the ER, but nothing prepared her for the joint custody will that binds her to the man she once danced with a decade ago. When Carter proposes a marriage of convenience to secure Chelsea's future, the terms are clear: a six-figure allowance and a shared home in his modern-day palace.

In a house filled with secrets and shimmering chandeliers, the deal was supposed to be strictly business. But as Ridley unearths the hero hidden beneath Carter’s broody exterior, the lines between their fake marriage and a real family begin to blur. Can two souls hardened by loss find a new rhythm together, or will the guilt Carter carries destroy their chance at a happily-ever-after?
