Those Texas Nights It’s some run of bad luck when Sophie Granger loses her business and gets left at the altar all in one day. Desperate to not appear jilted, Sophie begs Clay McKinnon, Wrangler’s Creek’s smoking-hot police chief, to pretend they’re having an affair. But Clay refuses, leaving Sophie to retreat to the family ranch to lick her wounds. Hoping to leave his disreputable past behind, Clay moved to Wranger’s Creek for a fresh start. But that looks unlikely when Sophie’s ex-fiance shows up married to Clay’s impulsive kid sister. Overcome, Sophie re-suggests the affair – but this time for real. Clay’s hesitant. City-girl Sophie isn’t usually his type. But he can’t deny the desire she elicits – or his yearning to have her plant her cowboy roots for good. Lone Star Cowboy Jake Monroe became Wrangler’s Creek, Texas’s most eligible rancher at the drop of an inheritance. With land, horses and a fortune to protect, he can’t let gold-diggers into his pockets. But he can let people believe he and his ex are back together while she’s in town working on the ranch. Trouble is, faking a relationship with Lily Rose Granger isn’t nearly as hard as pretending their desire isn’t real. Playing pretend isn’t supposed to be so complicated, but Lily Rose won’t give up. She’s determined to prove to everyone that she’s the best horse trainer around – and prove to herself that she’s moved on from Jake. All she has to do is stay out of the cowboy’s bed…or trust that this time around he’s worth every risk.
