The Rancher's Temporary Engagement

A female detective helps a rancher root out danger—and unravel the mystery of love—in this historical romance by the USA Today–bestselling author.

The Pinkerton agent that Edward Kent hired is intelligent, capable—and unexpectedly female. Though shocked to learn that Maggy Worthing will be investigating the threats to his Wyoming horse ranch, Edward needs to find the culprit. And if that means a temporary engagement to give Maggy a cover story, he'll play along with the feisty detective.

Maggy always gets her man—at least when it comes to solving crimes. The young widow refuses to marry again and land under another husband's thumb. Unmasking Edward's enemies will earn her a longed-for promotion . . . but the heart has its own mysteries. Could working together with the handsome English aristocrat spark a real and loving partnership?
