The Rancher's Temporary Engagement
Undercover Fiancée
The Pinkerton agent that Edward Kent hired is intelligent, capable—and unexpectedly female! Though shocked to learn that Maggy Worthing will be investigating the threats to his Wyoming horse ranch, Edward needs to find the culprit. And if that means a temporary engagement to give Maggy a cover story, he’ll play along with the feisty detective.
Maggy always gets her man—at least when it comes to solving crimes. The young widow refuses to marry again and land under another husband’s thumb. Unmasking Edward’s enemies will earn her a longed-for promotion…but the heart has its own mysteries. Could working together with the handsome English aristocrat spark a real and loving partnership?
EXCERPT:
Maggy was beginning to get a picture of Edward Kent, and it didn’t include the man having numerous female visitors. He was handsome, she conceded, and fairly affable. But clearly his ranch, his horses, and perhaps his staff were all his heart had room for. She couldn’t help wondering why.
“This is my ranch foreman,” he said introducing the man who’d come into the parlor. Edward poured himself some more tea. Maggy could tell he was stalling, which meant he was either grappling with how to introduce her or reluctant to reveal to the foreman that she was a detective. Perhaps both. “McCall, I’d like you to meet…” Edward took a swallow of tea, his gaze darting to Maggy’s in a silent plea for assistance.
His unexpected show of confidence in her abilities to come up with a solid cover story brought her earlier idea forward at last, in full form. “I’m Maggy. Edward’s fiancée,” she finished with a triumphant smile. “Isn’t that right, darling?”
Turning toward him, Maggy only had a moment to register the shock in Edward’s gray eyes before his mouthful of tea came spewing out—all over her.
