Now He Grovels for His Wife

For eleven years, Mara Ellison helped build Beckett Halvorsen's ranching empire from the ground up, managing the breeding program and handling crises while asking for so little that her husband stopped seeing what she carried.

A careless radio conversation changes that when Beckett tells his ranch hands she is good at her work—and replaceable.

She hears every word, walks away, and he discovers too late that his overlooked wife has already built a thriving equestrian business of her own at Harlow Creek.

There Mara finally shapes a life that belongs to her, one where she is valued for more than quiet endurance.

Beckett wants her back, but apologies will not be enough for a neglected wife who has chosen herself.

If this billionaire rancher wants a second chance at their marriage, he will have to give up control, change the life that made her invisible, and prove through action—not promises—that loving her means more than expecting her to stay.
