I love a book with a tortured hero. This one has never felt loved and won't let anyone close enough to him to get hurt like he was by his mother. When his paternal grandma starts a race between him and his cousins on who gets married and has a son first, he relents to the married part because he needs the money to save his ranch. Once Claire moves in, it's hard to fight the chemistry.The couple goes into the marriage looking for it to end in a year. They aren't planning to participate in the Baby race portion. But once circumstances change, they are in the race regardless. Race keeps a secret from Claire scared she will think the worst of him and keeps himself emotionally unavailable to her. She senses the distance and feels rejected, like she's never good enough for someone to love.This couple puts each other through hell before they get it right. I love it when it doesn't come easy.
