A Marriage of Convenience Leads to a Battle for Survival in Never Love a Lawman by Jo Goodman, a Western Historical Romance Adventure Rachel Bailey thought she had left her past behind when she settled in the quiet mining town of Reidsville, Colorado. But when the powerful railroad tycoon who ensured her escape dies, she finds herself bound by an unexpected condition in his will-marry the town's sheriff, Wyatt Cooper, or lose control of the vital rail line that keeps the community alive. Wyatt has spent years protecting Reidsville, and marriage was never part of his plans-until Rachel enters his life with a contract neither of them can refuse. What begins as a business arrangement soon sparks deeper desires, forcing Rachel and Wyatt to confront the truth neither dared to admit: their secret marriage may have started as a necessity, but it could become the greatest risk of all. But danger looms. Foster Maddox, the ruthless heir to his grandfather's fortune, will stop at nothing to seize the Calico Spur-and Rachel with it. As hired guns close in and secrets come to light, Wyatt and Rachel must fight for their town, their future, and their hearts before everything they've built is torn apart.
