Poor Rancher Married a 70-Year-Old Widow—On Their Honeymoon, She Handed Him the Keys to Her Empire

Wesley Harland stands at the grave of Millicent Thornhill, the 70-year-old widow he married just months ago when he was nothing but a debt-ridden rancher with calloused hands and faded dreams. Now, as dust clouds rise in the distance bringing Mortimer Blackwell and his armed men to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs, Wesley pulls the deed to thirty thousand acres from his pocket – his name written in Millicent's elegant script. No one in Willow Springs could have imagined how the territory's wealthiest cattle baroness had hidden her empire in plain sight for decades, nor how she'd chosen a broken man as her unlikely heir, transforming what was meant to be a brief marriage of convenience into an extraordinary legacy that would change the Wyoming Territory forever. Wesley opens the leather ledger containing the secrets of Millicent's empire, smiles against the rising sun, and mounts his horse to meet his adversaries – ready to defend everything this remarkable woman had entrusted to him during their unconventional honeymoon.
