Their fake engagement was meant to be simple, but can two stubborn opposites really call a truce when the sparks between them feel all too real?
Teacher Mallory Moore has hidden her crush on cowboy Cody Tomlinson for years. Now that she’s back in Last Stand, Texas, ignoring his pull is harder than ever. She dreams of renovating a historic movie theater into a performance space for the town’s teens, but Cody—and his line of admiring fans—is a distraction she doesn’t need. Sure, he has plenty of money to help, but Mallory refuses to be just another woman chasing his fortune.
Since his family’s lottery win, Cody has felt trapped on the ranch, hounded by attention he doesn’t want. At least Mallory seems safe—she’s never liked him. When his family urges him to support a good cause, her theater project sounds perfect. Mallory won’t take his money, but she will accept his labor… and in return, she’ll pretend to be his fiancée.
But the longer they play at love, the more real it feels. Can they keep their hearts from falling for the lie?
