Claimed by the Cowboy

He agreed to marry a stranger. He didn’t expect to fall for her sister.

Tom
I didn’t mean to get married.
Not that I was kidnapped or anything dramatic—I just sort of… volunteered. Mostly.

Look, I’ve always been the funny one. The peacekeeper. The guy you call when a goat’s in labor or your brother’s having an emotional crisis about fence posts. But since Mom’s matchmaking-from-beyond-the-grave scheme kicked off, things have been weird. Like marrying-a-stranger-to-save-the-ranch weird.

Then my bride arrives… and she’s not alone.

Kitty's not the one I'm supposed to marry.
But she’s here—on my porch, in my house, in my life—and somehow, everything feels more right with her than it ever did on paper.

Because the truth is… I’m falling for the woman I never expected.
And for the first time in a long time, I don’t feel like the punchline.
