The Cowboy’s Secret by Elizabeth Grey

Lying about my true identity was never part of the plan. But I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to keep my empire.
I am on a mission to convince the residents of Ruby’s Edge, a small town in South Dakota to sell their land to my company.
The townsfolk are anything but enthused about a major corporation showing up to buy their home. Especially Elise Drake, my stubborn childhood playmate.
Elise is vehemently opposed to the buyout and rallies the town around her to protest. To make things worse, I find out Elise’s ranch stands on one of the core plots for my project.
I need to get close to Elise and convince her to sell. Even if that means lying to her about who I really am and why I’m in her town.
Yet instead of changing her mind, I find the small-town growing on me, and beautiful, fierce Elise worming her way into my heart.
As my feelings for Elise grow, I am trapped between my obligations to my company and the strange feeling that maybe, somehow, I was always meant to come back to Ruby’s Edge—and Elise.
I want to tell Elise how I feel. But I’m afraid she may never forgive me if she finds out I am the billionaire stealing her people’s land.Lying about my true identity was never part of the plan. But I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to keep my empire.
