Annie Douglas is beautiful, compassionate, and kind, but she has no self confidence and doubts her ability to read men. She has never known love from anyone, especially her family. They all considered her an albatross around their necks, completely useless and no value at all. After the latest fiasco with her ex-fiance and ex best friend, she wonders about her worth as a woman, too. Tired of her constant depression, her stepbrother sends her to Texas to look at a newly acquired ranch, never dreaming her life was about to change.Burke Dawson is handsome, sexy, and strong, but he has no clue to understanding women. Where his ex-wife is concerned, he is absolutely blind. In the divorce, she demanded half the ranch that had been in his family for generations. Confused by her actions, he struggles to survive.Things are about to change. A chance encounter with a broke down rental and a beautiful woman make him consider his choices. He's advertised for a wife, having no time for courtship, but does he want a city girl again? The chemistry is there and she is definitely willing. All he really wants is an unpaid housekeeper and she wants a husband and family. After consideration, a marriage of convenience is born.But there is a snake in the background. Using Burke's integrity against him, Alice, his ex-wife, invites herself into this new marriage, causing as much mischief as possible.Can love develop from this unlikely beginning? Will diabolical plans of others prevent their happiness? After the ultimate betrayal, can Annie ever forgive Burke, or will Alice, the ex-wife, really win?This is an excellent story. Well written. The twists and turns keep the reader engrossed and wondering where the story will go. The reader wants to shake Burke for his foolishness, slap Alice for her interference, and defend Annie against them both!I would recommend this book. Excellent read!
