Kindred — Stephanie Morris

Fairytales don't exist...Ashleigh Nelson has given up on finding her soul mate. A philandering father and failed marriage taught her that finding your one true love only happens in fairytales. That is until she comes across a personal ad and wonders if the man who wrote it might be as equally sexy as he is charming. As tempting as the offer in the ad is, she doesn't have time for any distractions. The family ranch is under the threat of foreclosure. Desperate to find a way to earn enough money to pay off the insurmountable bills, she'll do practically anything to save the home she loves. Gael Edwards is looking for a wife—even though getting married is the last thing he wants to do. But his father has given him an ultimatum—find a respectable wife and get married or be disowned. Gael has worked hard to earn his father's respect so he can take his rightful place as CEO of the family's company. There is only one chink in his armor, the trail of broken-hearted beauties he's left behind. But the instant he meets Ashleigh he quickly realizes that he may have taken the biggest risk of his life. For he doesn't count on falling for the pretty cowgirl—and he definitely doesn't expect her to be his mate...
