The Heart Of Texas (Texas 1)

When Riley is required to marry for love to receive his inheritance, he blackmails his hated rival Jack into marrying him for one year and faking love… 

Riley Hayes, the playboy of the Hayes family, seems to have it all: money, a career he loves, and his pick of beautiful women. His father, CEO of HayesOil, passes control of the corporation to his two sons, but a stipulation is attached to Riley's portion. Concerned about Riley's lack of maturity, his father requires Riley to marry and stay married for one year to someone he loves.

Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a way to bypass his father's stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him "for love" suits Riley's purpose. His father's documents do not mention that the marriage had to be with a woman, and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's archrival. It's a win-win.

Riley marries Jack, and abruptly, his entire world is turned inside out. Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, a quiet and unassuming rancher, was a force of nature in his own right.

This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust, and love, a rancher's sprawling life, and a playboy's whirlwind existence. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.
