Sheriff's Unwanted Bride: A Marriage of Convenience on the Frontier

When her brother's unexpected will leaves her half of a sprawling Colorado mountain home, Maggie Calder sees her chance for a fresh start. But when she arrives in Star Creek, she discovers there's a catch-she must share the property with the town's stern, uncompromising sheriff, Thomas Harper.

Thomas thought he was promised the house outright. Instead, he's now legally bound to a woman he doesn't want, in a home he can't afford to lose. With the will demanding they both live on the property or forfeit their share, the only solution is as shocking as it is necessary: a marriage of pure convenience.

Thrown together in a isolated house, two unwilling spouses circle each other with resentment and guarded hearts. Maggie is determined to build a life from the ashes of her past. Thomas wants nothing more than to keep his distance and protect the walls he's built since having his heart broken before.

But in the rugged beauty of the Colorado frontier, proximity has a way of cracking even the hardest defenses. As they navigate shared routines, nosy neighbors, and the ghosts of old wounds, Maggie and Thomas discover that the most unwanted bride might just be exactly what the sheriff needs.

A heartfelt Western historical romance perfect for fans of marriage-of-convenience stories, slow-burn tension, and strong-willed heroines who refuse to be broken.
