To keep his ranch he'll need a wife. To escape her father she'll need a protector. Love will only complicate their marriage of convenience.

She's on the run...

A tyrannical father. A life she hates and doesn't control. Freedom for socialite Meredith Hanover is not a luxury she has. When given an opportunity to become a modern-day mail-order bride to a rancher in rural Wyoming, she realizes this might be her only opportunity at a fresh start.

He's determined to stay...

Jace Shepard's dying father gave him two options: get married and take over the ranch or be cut out of the will. But life on the ranch is hard and isolating, something the previous women of his life couldn't hack. With no other solution, he strikes a deal with a professional matchmaker for a temporary bride.

The plan is foolproof. A bargain struck. Everyone wins in this ruse of fake love. Yet, if they're both pretending why does it feel so real?

Is Meredith ready to gamble away the freedom she's always wanted and give her heart to the family-oriented rancher? Jace knows it's only a matter of time before Meredith tires of ranching's hard lifestyle and trades him in for her old-cushy life. Why should he trust his heart to her?

Hello Reader, This feel good story is about love and family and with that comes laughter, heartbreak, grief, and new beginnings.
