Desired (The Royston Cowboys Book 2)
About
She came to sell the ranch. Falling for the cowboy wasn’t part of the deal.
His father wanted her land. Mason only wanted her.
The whole county is betting on when the con pays off. Nobody bet on the truth.
Lauren Merritt came to West Texas with one goal: sell the hundred and sixty acres her grandfather left her and be back in Denver before Christmas.
Instead, she gets a run-down ranch, somebody else’s cows in her garden, and the aggravatingly handsome cowboy next door who keeps fixing problems that aren’t his. Mason Royston is all hat, green eyes, and charm. Exactly the kind of cowboy she’d have laughed at in Denver. Too bad she’s not in Denver anymore.
What Lauren doesn’t know is that Mason’s father ordered him to charm the pretty new heiress into selling her land to the Roystons. Mason refused before he ever set foot on her ranch.
The trouble is, no one else knows that.
Now half the county is watching him fall for the Merritt girl, convinced it’s all part of the plan. Lauren has finally found a place worth staying. And a cowboy worth trusting.
Until she learns what Clay Royston asked his son to do.
One ranch. One family feud. One cowboy willing to lose the land before he’ll lose the woman he loves.
Perfect for readers who love small towns with no secrets, cowboys who fall hard, crackling banter, open-door spice, a big, loud ranching family, and Christmas happily ever afters.
