COLBY:
My grandfather's death should have meant freedom for me.
His homophobia is the reason my whole life has been a lie. But my brothers and I stand to inherit the family ranch-the only place I want to call home-under one hell of a condition: I have to be married.
My best friend Becca stepped in-we decided to get married and pretend for just long enough to meet my legacy-obsessed grandfather's dying demand. Then I'd really be free.
I might have survived it-if I hadn't met Adam Jackson. He's everything I've always wanted but never dared to hope for, and it's so much more than the electricity I feel when I touch him. I'd marry him in a heartbeat. But that's not the deal.
Choosing Adam now would mean throwing away everything. But giving up a future with him might be even worse.
ADAM:
Picture the world's steamiest cowboy fantasy, and it's still nowhere near as hot as Colby Bradley.
Since my roommate Becca introduced us, I haven't stopped thinking about him-and everything I want to do to him.
One huge problem: Colby is about to inherit one of the biggest ranching operations in the state, and it all hinges on him marrying Becca.
Before I met him, I might have said I could ride it out, waiting for the man of my dreams to finish playing house with someone else. But the wedding hasn't even happened yet, and it's already killing me.
I can't ask him to choose me over the ranch. But I can hope like hell he does.
This is the second book in the Bradley Brothers series. It can be read as a standalone with no cliffhanger.
