The Cowboy Takes a Wife

Description:

Is there a husband in the house? When single mother Desiree Parrish discovered that her abusive ex-husband was being released from prison, she knew she needed live-in protection at her ranch. And since hiring a bodyguard would only scare her young daughter, Desiree decided to hire a husband - a big, brawny husband - who had more muscles than questions... All cowboy Carter Prescott had to do to own a piece of Texas was say "I do" and live with a pretty woman and her cute kid. He didn't have to love his instant family, and since Carter was incapable of that, anyway, he thought he'd gotten one heck of a hassle-free deal. At least until the truth came out...
