Emily Woodhouse is a penniless,
homeless widow thanks to her recently deceased husband. His gambling
ways have placed her in a desperate situation. Faced with working off
his debt in the basest of ways, she chooses instead to accept Tyler
and Xander's unconventional marriage proposal. She won't be marrying
one man, but two.
Tyler and Xander know instantly that
Emily is the one for them. Not only does the widowed young woman
rouse their protective natures, she knows of their customs regarding
a two husband marriage. Despite the fact that Emily needs the safety
they can offer, she isn't eager to remarry. She might be reluctant,
but they will show her what it will be like with two men to cherish,
protect and possess her.
But the past catches up with them in
the most dangerous of ways. Only in facing the past can they forge a
future together.
(NSFW version):
Xander looked at me for one short
moment, then lowered himself to his knees and began lifting up the
long hem of my dress.
I tried to swat his hands away, but he
was not to be deterred.
“What are you doing?” I squeaked.
It was one thing to agree to marry and… fuck them, but it was
another to do it right now.
“I’m going to show you how it’s
going to be between us,”
“Yes, but why are you on your knees?
Shouldn’t we be in bed? It’s not dark out,” I stammered, my
palms pressing against the wood of the door.
He looked up at me and grinned. His
teeth were white compared to his tanned skin and dark beard.
“You are a little reluctant after
all.”
All of a sudden I was very reluctant.
“Don’t worry, baby, he’s going to
make you feel good,” Mr. Tyler said, his voice a smooth timbre. He
moved closer. Backed against the door, one man at my feet and the
other just beside me, I had nowhere to go.
(SFW version):
You need a wife and Emily is perfect.”
“She’s just lost her husband. How
could she be perfect if she’s clearly not interested?” I angled
my head toward the direction she’d gone.
“Her husband gambled and drank to
excess. While she never once confessed it, I believe he hit her. He
was cruel to her at the very least. She is not the least bit sorry
he’s dead. In fact, if she weren’t such a nice person, she’d be
dancing on his grave.”
The idea of anyone hurting Mrs.
Woodhouse made my hands clench. She was too small, too… dainty—even
with her lush curves—to protect herself from the likes of a man
Olivia described.
“Then she can find a man she truly
likes this time around. She’s young, beautiful. She’s a catch for
any man in town.”
Olivia grinned. “So you think she’s
beautiful?”
“Any conscious man would think so,”
I countered.
“Then you should offer for her.”
I sighed, exasperated. “Why?”
“Because you and Xander need a wife.”
I shook my head. “We do not need a
wife.”
“I see the way you look at the
couples at Bridgewater. Everyone’s happily married. It’s hard,
I’m sure, for you to witness since no one else marries like we do.
Like your parents. You want a marriage with Xander like all of us at
Bridgewater. Admit it.”
“Of course I admit it. I won’t
marry any other way.” I put my hand up. “That does not mean that
our bride should be Mrs. Woodhouse.”
Olivia pursed her lips. “She has to
marry.”
My brows went up. “Again, why?”
“The bank is taking the ranch. Debts,
most of them I’m sure are because of her husband’s gambling. She
has no place to go. No money. She’ll have to get a job and there
are none, unless she wants to work on her back.”
“Olivia,” I warned.
“What? It’s true.” Olivia took a
deep breath. “She’s going to have to marry. A woman doesn’t
have any other options. It might as well be you.”
I frowned. “Is that a compliment?”
“Of course, it is. She deserves
someone—or two someones—who will be good to her. I know you and
Xander would be. Plus, I know her well and she knows about how we
marry. I like her. Trust me, you’ll be well suited.”
I turned so I could look at the woman’s
retreating figure. Well suited? I had no doubt we’d be very
compatible in bed. She would be no hardship to look at. That did not
make a marriage, but it certainly helped.

Vanessa Vale
USA Today Bestselling author
Who doesn't love the romance of the old
West? Vanessa Vale takes the sensual appeal of rugged cowboys a step
further with her bestselling books set in the Montana Territory. They
are much more than just sexy historical westerns. They're deliciously
naughty reads that sometimes push the boundaries of fantasy. It's
pure escapism with quite a few very hot, very alpha cowboys.
When she's not writing, Vanessa savors
the insanity of raising two boys, is figuring out how many meals she
can make with a pressure cooker, and teaches a pretty mean karate
class. She considers herself to be remarkably normal, exceedingly
introverted and fairly vanilla, which does not explain her steamy
stories and her fascination with cowboys, preferably more than one at
a time.
She lives in the Wild Wild West where
there's an endless source of 'research' material.
