The Cattle King
Lorena Valois
Matilda Tulstan's life has changed drastically. From being an heiress of an influential Southern family, she has fallen from grace and now works hard to survive after losing everything in the Civil War.
Her pride, though wounded, remains her shield and sword, reminding her daily of the opulence she has lost.
Fleeing from enemies, she ends up in Texas where she finds employment as a servant on the most prosperous ranch in the state.
Everything would be fine until she discovers that the owner is none other than Luke "Iron Arm" Garrett, a cowboy who once worked for her family and who had the audacity to ask for her hand in marriage in the past—a proposal she rejected because she considered him a penniless nobody with no future, hardly worthy of a brilliant heiress like herself.
Both find themselves reunited by a capricious twist of fate, but their roles have been completely reversed.
He is now the owner of a cattle empire and she is a servant.
Luke's pride still stings from her rejection all those years ago, and Matilda faces the humiliation of finding herself in a position where "Iron Arm" doesn't hesitate to take advantage.
However, love, like the desert, has its own paths, and their forced proximity ignites a battle of wills as well as a story of love and redemption in the Wild West.
