Just how far will this wealthy rancher go for his pregnant lover? From a USA Today–bestselling author who writes "wonderfully romantic, emotional stories" (Lori Foster, New York Times–bestselling author of The Honeymoon Cottage). Their years apart haven't diminished Nolan Elliott's desire for Pepper Manning. Even knowing she's pregnant with another man's baby, the Texas rancher can't stay away. He didn't claim her when she needed him so long ago and the sting of losing her, and their child, still resonates. With custody of her unborn baby now in jeopardy, Nolan vows to use his wealth and power to give Pepper everything she wants. That means proposing a marriage . . . in name only. But is that a vow the rancher stands any chance of keeping?
