The Marriage Lottery, Book 22: the Wayward Girl

A young girl with nowhere to go. A cattle rancher with a place for her to stay.

Nicole Freeling is just four days shy of lottery age when the lottery comes. She begs the magistrate to enter, but he firmly says no. Four days later, early in the morning of her eighteenth birthday, her stepfather violently drags her from her room and tosses her out of her home. Now she has nowhere to go and no money to her name.

Raymond Striker is a wealthy cattle rancher with an infamous mean streak. He hates women and everyone knows it. So why is he offering to give her a home? The catch is, she has to give her body to him whenever he asks. Reluctantly she agrees, but falls head over heels in love with a man who is incapable of kindness.

A wayward girl is about to find her way to a new life, a child, and happiness.
