Imperfect Promise

In the rugged and unforgiving land of the American frontier, where honor and loyalty can be as dangerous as a loaded gun, Cortland Enders finds himself entangled in a web of obligation and deceit. When he crosses the path of a powerful man, he becomes a fugitive from the law. Desperate to avoid prison, Cort is forced to accept an agreement with Sienna, the influential widow of his late friend and employer and current owner of the Circle H Ranch. In exchange for his freedom, he must play the role of her new husband.

The catch? She's dying, and Cort will inherit the ranch. For anyone else, it would seem like the deal of a lifetime, but for a free spirit like Cort, it's almost worse than prison.

Now free, Cort is instructed to find a young lady to help tend to Sienna in her waning days. That's when he meets Lark Garrin, the woman who will turn his world upside down. A scarred beauty of uncommon strength and courage, she immediately captures Cort's heart. Sparks fly, and he is torn between his loyalty to Sienna and his growing feelings for Lark. But danger lurks in the shadows. The demons from Lark's past are hunting her, and Cort must resurrect his gunfighting skills to protect both the woman he loves and the legacy of the ranch he's sworn to safeguard.

In this gripping tale of love, honor, and sacrifice, Cort and Lark must trust one another and face their deepest fears head-on to defeat the forces threatening everything they hold dear.
