The Cowboy’s Unraveling (The Worthingtons Bluff Cowboys Book 2)
About
He sees every con coming. She’s the one he never expected.
Callum Worthington doesn’t do trust, not anymore. After his fiancée’s betrayal nearly destroyed his family’s empire, he’s learned to spot a con from a mile away. So when a mysterious horse trainer arrives at Wyoming’s 3 Aces Ranch with a scrubbed digital footprint, old-money posture, and secrets behind her dark eyes, every instinct screams danger.
Alicia Morgan isn’t who she says she is.
Alicia Morgan is a fake name. Emmaline Beaumont is the heiress on the run.
Emmaline has six months to survive before her twenty-fifth birthday frees her from the aunt and uncle who’ve controlled her fortune, and the arranged marriage to a man who wants her money, not her. The remote ranch is supposed to be her escape. The last thing she needs is Callum Worthington’s relentless suspicion.
Their first meeting? She wakes up wrapped in a stranger’s arms, in the bed he didn’t know she’d been given. Their second? A battle of wills neither intends to lose.
But the more Callum pushes, the more he wants her. His suspicion should keep him away from her, but his body has other plans, and when he finally gets her alone, restraint doesn’t stand a chance. And Emmaline, who’s spent a lifetime being touched with purpose but never warmth, is terrified by how safe she feels in his arms.
When she’s forced into the spotlight at the World Championship show, her carefully constructed lie begins to unravel. And Callum must decide: Is she another woman who played him for a fool, or the one worth risking everything for?
