The Rough Rider (Four Corners Ranch, 4)
Return to Maisey Yates's fan-favorite Four Corners for a marriage of convenience between two unlikely souls-a hopeless romantic and a man who has long given up hope
When Alaina finds herself pregnant and alone, she knows she's in a tight spot. Small towns like hers tend to raise eyebrows at unwed mothers, and she knows the vicious gossip mill will soon be churning. Thankfully, her ruggedly stoic childhood protector, Gus McCloud, knows a thing or two about guarding secrets. Offering Alaina a marriage on paper is the least he can do.
As a hardworking rancher, Gus is well equipped to provide for Alaina and her baby. And despite plans for a solitary life, he wants to. He knows what it's like to be an outsider, especially after a traumatic childhood left him with scars inside and out. Alaina has long dreamed of a fairy-tale romance, but as the growing fire between her and Gus starts feeling real enough to burn, she questions what that means. Maybe her fake marriage to Gus is the real love she's been missing all along.

You don’t have to be good, looking to have a kind heart
Amber St. Clare
I really loved this book! Gus is a sexy, tortured soul and there's much more depth to Alaina than I had anticipated. Looking forward to more stories about the residents of Four Corners Ranch!

This might be my favorite book in the series. Gus and Alaina have been through so much. Gus is damaged inside and out, but he's always been a protector. A Beauty and the Beast HEA

This story is full of feelings…good ones and bad ones. It’s an emotional roller coaster of a ride but Maisey Yates digs deep to give you all the “feels”. I love her stories and this journey through Four Corners Ranch just adds to the layers that make a community. Every person you love adds more to your life.

Gus and Alaina have known each other forever. He has been her protector or savior on more than one occasion. Both of them come from families ravaged by abandonment and cruelty, yet they still thrive. Alaina has one more situation to ask Gus to help her solve. He quickly proposes marriage and moves her in to his home. Love can be hard to figure out. This story was heart wrenching, but full if love. Don't miss it!
