Romance Small Town | Romance Western

She’s done pretending. He needs a pretend fiancée. What could go wrong?

Lawyer and rancher Jonas Lohmen returns home with a plan to help save the debt-ridden ranch he co-owns with his brothers. Before he can do more than open a satellite law office, trouble in the form of a beautiful former client, who’s also his law partner’s sister follows him. New plan. Convince his best friend to pretend to be his fiancé.

“Have you lost your mind?” Sloane Michaels can’t believe the favor Jonas wants—especially now that she’s finally finished pining for him and has joined a dating app. So what if the first dates leave her bored and cold? She owns a booming car repair business and knows she can craft her own happily-ever-after and have the family she’s always craved. Jonas with his wicked, sexy smile, won’t talk his way around her this time.

Sloane, in her grease-stained overalls, doesn’t want to pretend to be someone else, but could he fall in love with the woman she is, or is she risking heartbreak once again?

A fun, flirty, and heart-filled small-town romance about second chances, strong women, and falling for the person you thought you’d left behind.
