Fiction. Romance. Western. HTML:From Nicole Helm, the author of the national bestselling Stone Cold, Navy Seal Cowboys, and Big Sky Cowboys series!
 
In Colorado's glorious big-sky country, everything is done with cowboy flairâ??even boot-stomping, hat-tipping cowboy weddings . . .
 
As the middle Tyler brother, Gavin doesn't always have much say in ranch decisions, but when it comes to his heart, he's the only authority. He's loved Louisa "Lou" Fairchild for longer than he can remember, even though they've never been more than friends. But with Lou stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place, Gavin is going to help the way any true friend wouldâ??with a proposal of a strictly business-like, in-name-only marriage . . . at least to start.
 
Lou can't believe her beloved grandmother has backed her up against the wall. The choice between finding a man to marry and letting her no-good father back into the family to run the ranch isn't a choice at all! But when her sister counters with an even less savory idea, Lou knows what she must doâ??say yes to the only man she's ever trusted. But somehow pretending to be in love with good-natured Gavin suddenly begins to feel alarmingly realâ??and she downright likes it.
 
Can a sham marriage become the truest kind of love?
