The Cowboy's Pregnant Fake Fiancee

For years, life on the road was the only life for hotshot rodeo star Dean “Wildcard” Slate. Until an injury forced him into a recovery period that might just lead to early retirement. Settling down on the newly purchased small-town ranch he’s always wanted, Dean plans to enjoy a quiet life outside the spotlight, at least for a little while. Then he learns that pretty one-night-stand he had a few months back led to a positive pregnancy test. And worse—the tabloids got wind of the story. If he wants to have any career to return to, he’s got to find a way to make things right.

Town sweetheart Marley Arrowood has been struggling to escape her mother’s perfectly planned-out future for her. After ditching the ex she doesn’t love, and fulfilling her lifelong dream of opening a bakery, Marley is finally ready to strike out on her own. Even if it brands her a black sheep in the eyes of everyone in town. But one night with a handsome cowboy changes everything. Now, Marley and Dean both have reputations to save.

Thankfully, the solution seems pretty obvious—assuming Dean can convince Marley to be his fake fiancée. “Whirlwind Romance” isn’t as scandalous as “Hookup Baby Daddy,” and Marley’s bakery is more likely to succeed if she can reclaim her sweetheart status with some endearing PR.

Neither was looking for a real relationship, but with their futures on the line, Dean and Marley will have to learn how to fool everyone. And when the charade they’re putting on starts to fuel very real feelings, they’ll both have life-altering decisions to make. Can their romance survive when it was built on a lie?
