She Hired a Cowboy to Be Her Fake Husband—But His Heart Wasn’t Pretending

She hired him to be her fake husband for one year… but neither of them expected to fall in love. When Eleanor Hayes learns that she must be married before her 25th birthday to keep her family's Colorado ranch, she makes a desperate decision. She offers a rugged cowboy named Jack Mercer $500 to become her husband — only for one year. There will be no real romance. No real relationship. And no promises beyond the contract. But Jack has one condition: there will be no lies between them. At first, their marriage is nothing more than an arrangement. Jack works the ranch while Eleanor manages the books, and together they convince her powerful uncle that their marriage is genuine. But as the days pass, something neither expected begins to happen. Jack starts protecting Eleanor. Eleanor begins trusting Jack. And the fake marriage slowly becomes something neither of them can pretend isn't real. Then someone begins sabotaging the ranch, threatening their future and exposing dangerous secrets about Eleanor's family. As the danger grows, Eleanor and Jack must decide whether their marriage is still just an arrangement… or whether they have already become a real family. ❤️ This emotional Western romance story is filled with love, sacrifice, mystery, ranch life, second chances, and a slow-burn cowboy romance.
