A clean second chance cowboy romance by NYT bestselling author Jean Oram is about returning home, secret crushes, and fake relationships.

Cole Wylder has sworn off women.

But what’s a cowboy to do when the key to rebuilding bridges with his family means faking something serious with the town sweetheart, a pretty spitfire named Jackie Moorhouse?

Jackie’s waited for Cole to return home for five long years. Surely the crush she’s been sporting since she was knee-high to a grasshopper no longer means anything.

There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to date Cole—even if it’s something fake.

But what will Jackie do when their ruse starts to feel real? And what will she do when family circumstances force her to cut things off with the only man she’s ever loved?

Can Cole figure out how to keep the woman his heart belongs to—the one woman who refuses to keep it?

Surprise return.A

A really great story with a great ending.The characters are awesome,I.have enjoyed reading their stories in this series.I didn't want to put the books down Thank you.

Awesome

This was Cole and Jackie's story. A very satisfying addition to the series. Cole and Jackie have chemistry that lights up the pages. They go from fake to break-up to engaged in record time yet it doesn't feel rushed or unrealistic. The conflict they face is something out of their control which makes it especially poignant. I was happy that Cole finally got things worked out with his family concerning him leaving 5 years ago and I finally got answers to all my questions. I've really loved this series. I mean, it's written by the talented Jean Oram and it's cowboys! How could it be anything other than awesome!

Jackie Finally Finds Love

After five years away, Cole has finally come home. I felt so bad for him that he felt like his family and April were telling him to leave. I was glad to see he wanted to stay now and prove to everyone that he can be trusted and will stay. It was funny that Jackie had chased him since elementary school and now she is the one he asks to help him. I think they always had an attraction between the two, but never acted on it. Pretending to be together helps both their reputations. I was glad their time being together was showing them there could be more than friendship if either was bold enough to admit it. I have always loved Cole’s family and how they are there for each other. This is especially true when Jackie has to figure out what to do about her father’s health. I encourage you to read the book. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
