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 break–up, 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?
