Book overview
Hyacinth Berkley is tired of living in the shadow of her sister's beautiful marriage and is ready to start a life of her own. In searching for a husband, Hyacinth wants a man who is different from her father-someone who is independent and doesn't need her the way her father needed their mother.
Noble Ranch foreman Beckett Thorpe has to get married by his thirtieth birthday in order to inherit his family's ranch in Texas. With the clock ticking, he proposes a marriage of convenience to Hyacinth. Since the two of them have bickered from the day they met, he doesn't expect her to accept his offer and is secretly pleased when she does.
After a quick wedding, they journey to Texas so he can prove he's married and claim his inheritance. Once there, they learn Beckett isn't so independent and needs Hyacinth more than they'd realized. As tensions escalate, can they overcome their fears from the past and the dangers of the present to find a way to be together? Or will they finally agree on one thing-that their marriage was a big mistake?
