RCMP Constable Claire King needs a cover while she's in southern Manitoba, and the dashing rodeo champion that she used to date is just the ticket. All Benton needs to do is vouch for her among his neighbours while she tracks down a crew of dangerous thieves in the area.

Benton Lawson hates lying to his family about his fake relationship but he has no choice—if anyone discovers Claire's real identity, she would be in serious danger. He knows that a cowboy isn't the ideal partner for an undercover police officer, but he's determined to stick close and watch her back.

Their stolen moments during her investigation lead to real feelings, but will they be strong enough to protect each other and their secret when Claire becomes a suspect in her own case?
