Check out my book review HERE

What is this book about?

Determined to find his missing brother and stop the elusive mastermind behind the theft of his family’s sapphires, Gil Coulter embarks on a solo mission to the remote town near where the criminal is rumored to reside. As Gil scours the surrounding wilderness for the thief’s hidden lair, the last thing he expects to find is a captivating and vulnerable young woman.

Confined to a remote catacomb of caves and the mountain wilderness around it, Jess McPharland is surrounded by brutal men employed in her father’s illicit mining operation. Her last attempt to escape only made things worse and confirmed a secret she can’t hide much longer. She’ll soon be forced into a life more horrific than what she’s known. Jess will do anything to break free before her fears come true.

When she encounters Gil on the hidden mountain trail—and he’s seeking the very criminal she calls Father—she must convince this stranger to pose as her husband and help her escape. And she has one card to play—she knows where his brother is.

As Gil and Jess navigate the treacherous landscape—and people—they find themselves caught in a web of danger, deception, and unexpected attraction. With each passing moment, the stakes grow higher, and the line between pretense and truth blurs. Will the love growing between them be enough to survive Jess’s secret and lead them to the justice Gil seeks, or will her father’s greed destroy everything they’ve risked their lives to protect?

    My family would have a mine to harvest opals (my birthstone ane a favorite of mine). The heirloom piece would be a gorgeous brooch with a huge perfect in color and free of flaws opal as the center with a decorative design of clear and bright nice sized diamonds to finsh the design. Something fancier than just circling the opal. This brooch can also be worn attached to the accompanying necklace, which is a very nice weight solid gold 18 carat long chain so that it will fall midway down – not too close to the neck and not too far down the chest. It’s a piece that should be handed down through the generations through mother to daughter. It’s also meant to be worn and shown on special occasions and not just let in a box in a safe.

    Love this author’s book! Can’t wait to read Pretending to be the Mountain Man’s Wife which is definitely on my TBR list. Thank you so much for the chance to win a copy!

    My family owns an opal mine. Since it is my mom’s favorite stone and her birthstone, the heirloom item we have is a set of earrings, a bracelet, a necklance, and a ring.

    I love when main characters care for animal companions. Alpacas are adorable and have so much prsonality. I can’t wait to read the rest of the book.

    My family owns an amethyst mine, and the heirloom piece is a rectangular cut amethyst in a gold ring setting, first presented as an engagement ring.

    I think our family would own a sapphire mine. It’s my birthstone, and blue is my favorite color. I think I’d have a beautiful pendant made.

    Our family mine would be known for deep blue sapphires – the kind that look almost black at first glance, but when the light hits them, they glow with rich, royal fire. Stones formed under pressure. Strong. Enduring. Not flashy – but unmistakably valuable.
    The purest one? It would be set in an heirloom ring – simple, vintage, and elegant. A platinum band, hand-engraved with delicate vine details, holding a single oval sapphire in a four-prong setting. No halo. No extra diamonds competing for attention. Just the stone.
    The sapphire would be called “The Steadfast.”
    And if we’re being honest… it would look stunning in candlelight.

    My family owns a diamond mine. Mine is a family heirloom that is a diamond engagement ring that has a 4 carat ring in the middle with a total of 4 carats of smaller diamonds encircling it. This ring is handed down from generations to generation .

    My family would own a sapphire mine. The most brilliant stone would be in an engagemnet ring with diamonds in platinum setting.
