Taming His Virgin Wife

Melody:
I never expected forever when I married Lucas all those years ago. It was a dare, encouraged by one too many vodka shots. It's surprising neither of us annulled the marriage. But the truth is, I can't be a wife, not to any man, not even to sweet, wonderful Lucas, thanks to the monsters of my past that still haunt me to this day.

By some miracle, when I was desperate to save my brother, Lucas reappeared in my life. Lucas, who'd helped me so many times in the six months I'd shared his home as a sixteen-year-old foster kid. I had little choice but to take his offer – move to his Wyoming ranch and be his wife, for real this time. He doesn't know the reason why I need the money, and it's a secret I can't tell.

Lucas:
Running into Melody in an Iowa bar seemed like fate. And when I heard she was in trouble, I had to help her, because I've always felt protective over her. In my heart, she's always been mine.

Now that she's with me at Devil Creek Ranch, I find it impossible to ignore the feelings I've carried for her since I was seventeen. I want a wife, a partner in life as well as in my bed, but I know she is hiding something from me. Something I fear may drive us apart in the end.
