| MARRIED BY CONTRACT – Yvonne Lindsay Royal, Texas – Present Day Australian fashion designer Rosalind Banks is on her way to New York City for a potential business opportunity when she decides to stop in Royal, Texas, to check on her old boyfriend. Maybe her ex will welcome her back into his bed. But she learns while at a party her ex is attending that he is now engaged. Disappointed, Ros strikes up a conversation with a handsome rancher. With no other plans for the evening, the two decide to spend the night together in her hotel room. Ros doesn’t expect to see him again. A few weeks later, Ros discovers that her birth control didn’t work, and she is now pregnant with the rancher’s baby. Gabe Carrington is surprised to see Rosalind Banks back in Royal after their sizzling one-night stand weeks ago. But she comes bearing news: she’s pregnant with his baby. Gabe is in the process of looking to hire a woman to marry him and bear his child—all under contract, of course. Will Ros become his candidate now that she is pregnant with his child? He knows that she is like a fish out of water in Royal among the cowboys and the ranch life. Will she stick around long enough to give him a child? To Gabe’s surprise, Ros agrees to marry him. Despite the marriage contract, there is still a sizzling desire between them. Can they make their marriage work, or is it doomed from the moment they married? It was a one-night stand to remember in MARRIED BY CONTRACT, the latest tale in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Fathers and Sons series. Gabe watched his parents’ marriage crumble and the pain his mother suffered loving someone who didn’t love her. He doesn’t want to experience that pain, so he has no plans to ever fall in love. But Gabe needs an heir, so he figures the best way to get that is to marry someone suitable to his needs—but it will only be marriage by agreement, not love. He didn’t expect to find his one night with Ros to be unforgettable, but she is truly a smart and beautiful woman. However, she is a woman who fits best in the big cities, and living in Royal isn’t her cup of tea. Yet, the desire still burns hot between them. As part of their marriage contract, Gabe helps Ros fund her company. Even as she works on her company, she is settling down to life in Royal. Gabe is a considerate man, but he is not romantic or loving in the least. He has put up a wall to protect his heart from getting involved in loving a woman. All Ros wants is for him to say those three little words. Will his refusal make or break the marriage? A tale full of heart and emotion, don’t miss MARRIED BY CONTRACT. Patti Fischer |
