As the middle Tyler brother, Gavin doesn’t always have much
say in ranch decisions, but when it comes to his heart, he’s
the only authority. He’s loved Louisa “Lou” Fairchild for
longer than he can remember, even though they’ve never been
more than friends. But with Lou stuck between the proverbial
rock and hard place, Gavin is going to help the way any true
friend would—with a proposal of a strictly business-like,
in-name-only marriage . . . at least to start.
Lou can’t believe her beloved grandmother has backed her up
against the wall. The choice between finding a man to marry
and letting her no-good father back into the family to run
the ranch isn’t a choice at all! But when her sister
counters with an even less savory idea, Lou knows what she
must do—say yes to the only man she’s ever trusted. But
somehow pretending to be in love with good-natured Gavin
suddenly begins to feel alarmingly real—and she downright
likes it.
Can a sham marriage become the truest kind of love?
