The Patriot (Hayden Family)

I’m a soldier.
A rancher.
A Hayden.

As the oldest sibling, I'm expected to take my place as leader of the Hayden Cattle Company. One outdated rule holds me back.

When Dakota Wright arrives in our small town to buy and develop twenty acres of Hayden land, I see more than stubborn, quick-witted temptation wrapped up in silky strawberry-blonde hair. I see the one woman who could change everything for me.

We strike two deals. One for the land, and one that ties us together in ways neither of us expected. It's a straightforward plan, but there's nothing simple about the way I'm falling for my fiancée.

I never thought I could love anything more than my ranch, or my country.
I was wrong.

I want it all.
Especially Dakota.

* Author's Note: The Hayden Family series is standalone, but start from book one for maximum enjoyment.
