Zack Carsen, a part-time bodyguard and full-time cowboy, gave up on love a long time ago, but when he meets sweet, humble bestselling author Candi Kason, it's his heart that will need guarding now. He needs a bride to fulfil the stipulation in his eccentric adoptive father's will before he can take co-ownership of the ranch. Should he ask Candi to marry him under false pretences? Or will she think he's off his rocker?
Candi Kason, a children's author who gave up on the idea of ever getting married, needs protection. She has to get away from her crazy ex-fiancé. She needs a place to stay and a fake beau to get her ex off her case.
When she hires handsome cowboy Zack Carsen, she is mesmerized by his charm. Will this cowboy steal her heart?
