The Founding Father

Big John Jacobs is a Texas rancher with plans to enlarge his land, and he needs the backing of a powerful railroad owner to do it. When his business pitch fails to persuade the man, John proposes a different kind of deal: a marriage of convenience to the railroad baron's daughter, Camilla. Camilla believes he wants only her father's fortune, and she has no intention of accepting a cold arrangement. She wants a true marriage, but she must decide whether her husband's growing hold on her heart is worth the risk. Set on the rugged Texas frontier, this short romance is an early entry in a family series of tall, strong men and the women who win them.
