Rebel lawyer, Conner Malloy has made a career out of defending the destitute and downtrodden. But nothing prepares him for the stubborn little land heiress who will lie, cheat and steal to stop her mother from marrying the man she suspects murdered her father. The Texas filly is everything he never knew he wanted... until now.
Katherine Appleton wants justice, even if it means bribing the sheriff to bust Conner out of jail, compromising her relationship with her fiancé and tricking his cousin into helping her. Conner is nothing like the kind, quiet doctor she's engaged to, and she finds the outlaw cousin way too lovable for her own good. When she's unwittingly forced to introduce her rebellious lawyer as her betrothed, she ropes them together in a lie that draws them down a passionate and dangerous trail to the truth.
