Barone

Though he doesn’t believe in stuff like love at first sight, a successful businessman finds himself proposing a marriage of convenience to a lovely single mother who needs his protection...

Wayne Whitaker (or Chief Lighthorse, as his tribe calls him) is constantly putting out fires on his poverty-stricken, crime-ridden reservation. Many of the old-timers on his council fear it’s because he’s too young, too inexperienced, and too single to run both the tribe and his family’s rodeo business.

What they don’t understand is that he’d love to be married. He’s just been waiting to meet THE ONE. While assisting a seamstress and her young son during a medical emergency, he finally experiences that elusive spark of...something. When he discovers she’s fallen on hard times, he offers to marry her. Why not? She checks every box on his wishlist for a bride. He’s not sure who’s more surprised when she says yes - him or her. Does it mean she’s attracted to him in return? Or will his growing feelings for her end up being yet another fire he’ll have to put out?
