A bookish accountant accepts an offer she can’t refuse from a dangerously seductive mafia cowboy in this dark Western romance with vibes of Sons of Anarchy

I’ve been given a choice. Either I can marry one of the four fearsome Tempesta brothers … or I can bury my own troubled twin brother after his latest misdeeds. 

This is a sacrifice I will make with no hesitation. As a cruel favor, I’m allowed to choose which of the Tempesta brothers I’ll walk down the aisle with. 

One week among them on their vast ranch fortress in a remote corner of Wyoming is all the time I’m given to make up my mind. They are all different. All gorgeous and seductive. And all uniquely challenging in their own way. But only one of them stands out and fascinates me to the point of obsession. 

Years ago, Julian Tempesta saved my life and now our intense physical attraction is undeniable. Julian, as the charismatic eldest brother, is also the natural leader and protector, not a man who intends to use me and then callously crush my heart to pieces. 

When Julian says this marriage will be real, I believe him. I’m in far too deep by the time I understand the truth. I’ve foolishly trapped myself in a devil’s bargain. 

And now my ‘husband’ will be my undoing…
