Last fall, my closest friend moved to work at his father’s ranch. Despite eight months of silence from him, I finally gave in and agreed to marry the man my father thought was the ideal son-in-law and business partner.
My best friend reappeared, disrupting my upcoming wedding to a different man and turning my life upside down. I can’t ignore the depth of my feelings for him, regardless of how mad I am.
His confession came as a shock, and I wasn’t ready to forgive him, especially after we were stranded miles from the ranch overnight.
Should I marry the man Papa wants me to? Or should I follow my heart despite the fallout?
