Under Broken Stars
A marriage to clear our debts. I thought he would choose my sister. But the loan shark chose me.
Nick
We were out of options. The herd was thinning, the ranch was dying, and the Valenti family wanted the money they’d loaned my father. However, they were willing to make a deal. A simple marriage would wipe the slate clean. I was ready to defend my sister. I was ready to stand between her and the monster coming to collect. But Dante Valenti didn’t look at Heather. He looked at me. “Him,” he said. I’m a cowboy. I’m a Wesley. And I’m straight. But I’m also the man who would burn the world down to save his family. So, I signed the papers. I put on the ring. Now I’m married to a man I should hate, sharing a bed I never wanted, and trying to ignore the way his eyes track me across the room. I told him I’d never love him. He just smiled and said, “We have time.”
Dante
I don’t need a trophy wife. I need a partner who can survive my world. Nick Wesley is loyal, fierce, and stubbornly in denial. He thinks he’s sacrificing himself to save his sister. He thinks he can keep me at arm’s length. But I see the hunger buried under those green eyes. I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching. He says he’s not interested. I say he’s never been touched by a man who knows what he needs. Saving the ranch is the easy part. Breaking Nick Wesley? That’s going to be a pleasure.
Welcome to the edge of Hell Creek. Where the debts are high, the morals are loose, and the only way out is through.
