Convince Me, Cowboy

She's spent her whole life being needed. He's about to love her for nothing.
Nobody in Cottonwood Ridge has ever had to wonder whether Harper Kingsley will show up. She runs Prairie Rose Feed & Supply, keeps four Kingsley siblings upright, and talks to a donkey who has opinions. What she can't do is sit still in a room where nobody needs a thing from her.

Cameron Humphries came north to build a ranch, not to fall for the woman behind the counter. But their fathers have other plans - one fake date to the August Gala, one evening of pretending, one favor between neighbors.
The town believes it before they leave the sidewalk. Neither of them corrects it. Her father is delighted. Her sister sees straight through her. And by the time the aspens turn, what started as an arrangement has become the truest thing either of them has.

Until Cameron does the only thing he knows how to do for someone he loves. He builds it. He asks first. He leaves the gate off so the choice is hers.

And Harper says something she can't take back.

A sweet, slow-burn cowboy romance about fake dates that stop being fake, a family that shows up whether you asked them to or not, and learning to accept the one thing you can't earn.
