Publisher's Synopsis
Ruggedly handsome young rancher Ryker Davis shows up in Briley Anderson's life to call in a promissory note on her Oregon family tree farm. If she doesn't pay it off, he will force her to relinquish fifty-one percent of her farm to him. Desperate and grasping for ways to pay off the note, she makes a personal, though platonic, deal to live on his ranch for one year-despite the objections of her fiancé Jason Northway. Briley has already returned his ring for now, quit the law firm where they both work, and sold her San Francisco condo to pay for her ailing mother's care. So, how will Briley find the funds to pull the farm out from under the insidious note? And, will she be able to maintain her happily-ever-after with Jason while she's living one unlocked door away from the man who holds her future in his pocket?
