Their fake engagement was meant to be simple, but can two stubborn opposites really call a truce when the sparks between them feel all too real? Teacher Mallory Moore has hidden her crush on cowboy Cody Tomlinson for years. Now that she’s back in Last Stand, Texas, ignoring his pull is harder than ever. She dreams of renovating a historic movie theater into a performance space for the town’s teens, but Cody—and his line of admiring fans—is a distraction she doesn’t need. Sure, he has plenty of money to help, but Mallory refuses to be just another woman chasing his fortune. Since his family’s lottery win, Cody has felt trapped on the ranch, hounded by attention he doesn’t want. At least Mallory seems safe—she’s never liked him. When his family urges him to support a good cause, her theater project sounds perfect. Mallory won’t take his money, but she will accept his labor… and in return, she’ll pretend to be his fiancée. But the longer they play at love, the more real it feels. Can they keep their hearts from falling for the lie?

Maybe I would have enjoyed it if I read the whole series

I just didn't enjoy this very much. The relationship took far too long to develop and then didn't really develop, in my opinion. It was very drawn out and I didn't feel eager to finish it, which is a shame

Enjoyable read

I’m new to this author and was pleasantly surprised at how delighted it has been to meet the characters of Last Stand. The story was entertaining but finished rather abruptly for me.

Great story but a little to much about the money

Great story love should always win out. And abuse should never happen. And people need to ask for help no matter what.

Sometime it takes someone else to see the real you

Cody was popular in high school while Mallory tired to be invisible. He had a happy home life she could dream about. Still he left and never looked back. Now years later he is back in their hometown as one of the billionaire cowboy brothers. She is renovating the old theater and he is trying to figure out the rest of his life now that his family has won the lottery. Woman want to be with him because he is rich and the scar on his face furthers the notion that no one really wants the real him. When he offers to pay for the renovations on the theater Mallory refuses. Instead she challenges him to actually work on the renovations. Somewhere along the way they might even discover who they really are and what they want their futures to look like. Old sparks fly, but with his proposition that she be his fake girlfriend to keep the woman at bay, who knows where the line between pretend and real is. Good read. I am enjoying this series with the billionaire cowboy brothers.
