Ella's Embrace

Ella has always been strong-willed, and she has made up her mind to wed only for love. With her years moving on, that dream seems increasingly out of reach. When she inherits half of a neighboring ranch, she sees a chance to stand on her own rather than rely on her relatives. The catch is that she must share the work with the man who holds the other half, Titus Cain, who is carrying troubles of his own and never planned to run a farm in Oregon with a woman. Someone else wants the land badly and has already shown they will kill to get it. As the two are pushed together to protect the property and hunt the killer of the man they both cared about, Ella wonders whether she can live and work beside a man who is not her husband without damaging her good name. Ella and Titus must face the forces pulling them apart and learn to stand together.
