Nope, there's a reason Mr. Phony Cowboy and his teenage daughter are here in Rodeo, Montana...and she'll find out the truth.*

*Sam just wants to get back to New York. He doesn't need complications, like the gorgeous diner owner who irritates and intrigues him at the same time. Or a simmering attraction that results in one unforgettable night--and an unexpected bun in the oven! Now he's torn between his big-city life...and becoming a real cowboy for good.*
