Flint Fortune's family was trying to play matchmaker but the footloose cowboy was determined to remain a free agent. Sure, Jessie Hunt–Myers was beautiful but she was also a widow, with four kids definitely not the right setup for a bachelor. Yet he couldn't help but notice that Jessie's drop–dead–gorgeous exterior was matched by the warmth of her heart.

Fortunately, Jessie agreed that they could never be a perfect pair and willingly conspired in Flint's idea of trickery: fake dates that would quiet their meddling families. But the chemistry between them was anything but forced, and Jessie's children soon had Flint wishing he could be their daddy! Perhaps this feigned romance would become the real deal a love that would last forever!
