Austin is too broken to marry for love, so he places an online ad for a fake wife. Too bad Great Aunt Heloise won’t hand the ranch over unless all four of the Hall brothers marry and one of them produces an heir within the year. Now he’s heading home to Chance Creek, Montana, where he’d like to spend the rest of his days in the obscurity of his family’s ranch. The only alternative is to stay and marry Ethan.Staff Sergeant Austin Hall has a brilliant record in the Special Forces-except for one disastrous decision that cost his best friend’s life. If she doesn't write this article and secure her contract for another year, she'll lose everything - her career, her apartment, and more importantly, her family's approval. Not only has she fallen in love with the subject of her expose - she might be carrying his child. He'll be out of a home and a job, and in no shape to support the bride he desperately wants to marry, after all. Now his sister, Claire, wants to sell the ranch and collect what little money they can. He's about to lose it all because of the debts his mother racked up before his parents' deaths. Ethan knows he can't keep playing this game - he has to come clean with Autumn and tell her the truth about the practical joke and about the state of his ranch. Against her better judgment, her plan to keep her handsome groom at arm's length disintegrates into a night of passion spent in his arms. Making a video of her own, she casts herself as the perfect mail-order bride for a rancher, but when she finally reaches Montana, she's surprised to find Ethan's the perfect cowboy husband-to-be.

A breathtakingly beautiful city bride.Autumn Leeds needs a story - fast - or she's going to lose her lucrative contract with CityPretty Magazine, so when she sees the crazy video plea for a modern mail-order bride for a cowboy, it sounds like the story of the century. One look at Autumn Leeds changes his mind, however. This latest salvo in his ongoing practical joke battle with his best friend, Rob Matheson, has gone too far, and Ethan plans to send his "bride" right back home, then get busy plotting his revenge.

Ethan Cruz should be mending fences on his Montana ranch, but instead he's driving to the Chance Creek, Montana, airport - to pick up the bride he didn't know he had.
