A generations-old feud is about to come to a headโand the stakes couldnโt be higher with two hearts on the lineโin this novel set in the small town of Harmony, Texas.
Cord McMillan gave up his freedom at eighteen when he went to jail for a crime he didnโt commit. Now, ten years later, heโs about to give it up again for a piece of land. Nevada Britain, his neighbor, has just made him an offer he canโt refuse: If heโll marry her, sheโll sign over a section of property that their families have been fighting over for a hundred years. Nevada refuses to explain why, but Cord knows the bargain is in his favor. He just has one conditionโshe has to sleep in his bed every night for as long as their doomed marriage lasts. Nevada only wants to maintain her familyโs legacyโand redeem herself for a wrong she did Cord years ago. But as she spends more time with her husband by necessity, she discovers something unexpectedโa love so deep it takes her breath away.
