Wild River Vows: Book Three Ranches Series: Two rivals unite to save their land in a marriage of survival and secrets

In the heart of Thorne County, the Wild River is more than just water-it is the lifeblood of a legacy. But when Apex Development threatens to dam the river for luxury resorts, the future of the Thorne Heritage Ranch hangs by a thread. Silas Thorne is a man of logic and steel. As the ranch's foreman, he knows that to beat a corporate giant, he needs more than just grit; he needs a legal fortress. His solution is as cold as the mountain air: a tactical marriage of convenience to his fiercest rival, the headstrong horse trainer Willa Vance. By merging their lands, they can lock down the water rights and starve the corporation out. Willa Vance has spent her life fighting the Thornes, but the threat of foreclosure forces her hand. What starts as a bitter alliance of necessity quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. As Apex turns to arson, land seizures, and physical intimidation, Silas and Willa must navigate a treacherous landscape of corporate espionage and long-buried secrets. Beneath the riverbed lies a secret worth killing for, and as the floodwaters rise, so does a passion neither anticipated. In a battle for the soul of Montana, Silas and Willa will discover that the only thing more powerful than the river is a vow that can't be broken.
