When Pete Ledbetter's granddad decided to find Pete a wife, the bachelor had no choice but to find a decoy bride-to-be. For help with his scheme, he looked no further than his family's Colorado dude ranch. After a summer romance, he knew he was compatible with chef Mary Jo Michaels. But after a summer breakup, he knew convincing her to help him would be nearly impossible....
Mary Jo loved the Lazy L; it was Pete she wasn't so sure about. He'd hurt her once, and she couldn't be sure he wouldn't again. Although the way he's acting around her--the way he looks at her--has her thinking the cowboy has changed his ways.
Can she trust Pete enough to turn their pretend engagement into a real marriage?
