It’s all or nothing. Only I didn’t expect to fall for her in the process. My father’s will left me with one shot at a billion-dollar inheritance. The rules? No money, no passport, and no credit cards. Just thirty days to survive like a normal man, with a job, paycheck, and all. Easy, right? Wrong. I'm running out of time, until I turn to the one man who has every reason not to help me—my half-brother Chris. He reluctantly gives me a job on his Off-Duty Rescue Ranch, where I’ll be earning only enough to keep myself fed. Which is where everything goes sideways when I meet Sage Wylde. She smells like lavender, works harder than anyone I’ve ever met, and has been saving for years—one dollar at a time—for a dream trip she refuses to give up on. To her, I’m just a broke ranch hand with a suspicious all-over tan and an accent that is more prep-school than cowboy in Montana. She has no idea I’m one month away from a fortune. But the more time I spend with her, the less the money matters. Because for the first time in my life… I want to be the kind of man she’d choose without the dollar signs getting in the way. When danger hits the ranch and forces us into the wilderness, survival stops being about the inheritance. It becomes about protecting her. Fighting for her. Proving I’m more than the man I used to be. Because Sage isn’t just a distraction. She’s everything. And now? I’ll fall… or lose it all.
