In the high country of Colorado, hardships are a given, but love has a way of overcoming all the losses.

Millionaire heiress, Genevieve Hollis, has everything she wants except one thing, freedom, because her guardian stepmother insists on overseeing every move she makes. When Genevieve sees a newspaper advertisement from a rancher seeking a mother for his baby, she jumps at the chance to escape, even if that means hiding her true identity.

Ryder Oakley has suffered the repeated misfortune of losing the people he loves most, so now that he’s a single father with a newborn baby, he’s determined not to lose his son. When a woman shows up in answer to his advertisement, he quickly forms a marriage of convenience—one without all the entanglements of a real relationship.

Attraction starts to grow between the newly married couple, but the secrets of their pasts threaten to catch up to them. Ryder finds himself in a custody battle over his baby, and Genevieve struggles to outwit her stepmother. Will they be able to overcome the odds and find a way to be together before it’s too late?

Reviews for A Wife for the Rancher

• Audrey: Marriage of convenience/mail order bride… cowboy… a baby… This one had all my favorites, plus it’s written by one of my favorite authors!
• Kroosreadsandreviews: Such a great story! I love how the characters evolved throughout the story. In particular, Ryder has a tough exterior and to see his character change throughout the story was sweet to witness.
• Brandi: A Wife for the Rancher is an exquisite tale of love set in the Colorado high mountains. The kisses are smoldering while remaining clean and the story just draws you in. Prepare for some unexpected turns and hold your seat for this quickly paced love story. 
• Angeline: I loved A Wife for the Rancher! I would totally recommend it. It was also fun to see some old characters. I am super excited for the next book. 
• Edward: A Wife for the Rancher had an equal share of action and tension, plus a growing awareness between Genevieve and the rancher of the good qualities found in the other. Life was certainly not without challenges, but their faith and commitment to do the right thing helped stay the course for an unexpected outcome.
• Carolyn: I love this touching, entertaining story and the series and highly recommend both! I can’t wait to read Tanner’s story.
• Deneé: This book was great! I enjoyed the action, relational tension, and steamy (but clean) kisses. SQUEAL!! My heart went out to Ryder for the trauma he had to deal with. I hope the next book reveals what exactly happened in his past! But I especially loved his manly strength and desire to protect those he loves. If you’re looking for a clean, exciting and heart grabbing historical romance, I highly recommend this book!!
• Jessica: I flew through this book in two days because I didn’t want to put it down. It was fast paced and had a sizzling romance without any explicitness.
