Griff Garrison was almost a teenager when he met his father and was sent to live with him. Griff was always on the outside of the family. The one thing that Griff did feel apart of was his dad's ranch. Griff loved the ranch and worked from sunup until sundown. Now Griff has discovered that he may lose the ranch. His dad is sick and has set up a contest between Griff and his stepbrother. The first brother to get married and produce a grandchild will inherit controlling interest in the ranch. Griff had no intention of ever getting married, but now he must or he will lose the one thing that he loves.Griff runs into an old friend, Laney Jones and discovers that she is pregnant and broke. Griff has this crazy idea to marry Laney and claim the child as his own. Griff needs a wife and a baby, but he does not need or want love. Laney has always loved Griff and does not want to marry him under these conditions, but she has little choice. Laney wants more for her baby than she herself had. Laney and Griff marry because of a contest, but to stay married they will have to get past all the lies and reveal their true feelings. Laney has always wanted a family and loving Griff would be easy for her. Griff, however, has always felt alone and is afraid of caring for anyone. Griff has one chance to be happy and unless he can confess his true feelings he will miss that chance at happiness and love.I liked this story. At times I wanted to smack Griff for being so pigheaded. However, considering his family and his past, it was hard to dislike or not understand Griff. This was a short, quick, romantic read.
