He needs a fake relationship to repair his family ties.
She’s had a secret crush on him for years.
But pretending to fall in love gets complicated when the feelings become real…
Cowboy Cole Wylder has sworn off relationships.
After years away from home, he’s back in Texas hoping to rebuild bridges with his family. There’s just one problem—earning their trust may require him to look more settled down than he really is.
Enter Jackie Moorhouse.
The town sweetheart.
The pretty spitfire who’s secretly loved Cole since she was a girl.
And the one woman willing to fake a relationship with the cowboy who broke her heart simply by leaving.
Jackie tells herself this arrangement is temporary. Harmless. A chance to finally move on from the crush she’s carried for far too long.
But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to separate what’s pretend from what feels heartbreakingly real.
And when family circumstances force Jackie to walk away, Cole must decide whether he’s willing to fight for the only woman who’s ever truly owned his heart.
