'A dark, addictive mix of Western grit and mafia danger' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The tension, the build-up, their chemistry was EVERYTHING!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'All the drama, angst and emotions to make it a wild ride' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'If you're looking for a great story, angst, spice (😉) and a HEA then look no further' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Four brothers. One choice. No escape.

I’ve been given a choice. Either I can marry one of the four fearsome Tempesta brothers … or I can bury my troubled twin brother for his sins. This is a sacrifice I will make with no hesitation. As a cruel favour, I’m allowed to choose which Tempesta brother I’ll walk down the aisle with. One week on their isolated Wyoming ranch will decide my fate.

The brothers are all dangerous. All gorgeous. And all uniquely challenging. But only one of them fascinates me to the point of obsession.

Years ago, Julian Tempesta saved my life and now our intense attraction is undeniable. As the eldest brother, Julian is also the natural leader and protector, not a man who intends to use me and then callously crush my heart. When Julian says this marriage will be real, I believe him.

I’m in far too deep by the time I realize I’ve foolishly trapped myself in a devil’s bargain. And now my ‘husband’ will be my undoing …
