A high maintenance city girl. A rough around the edges cowboy. Sparks will fly…but will opposites really attract? Eva's determined to plan her best friend's dream wedding…even if it is at a lodge in the mountains. More familiar with limos than horses, Eva's going to need some help. But pulling off the perfect wedding isn't going to be easy, especially with Jeff, the all too handsome cowboy determined to get in her way. It's way too easy to push the city girl's buttons, and Jeff's enjoying every minute of it. The sparks that keep flying between them are definitely keeping things interesting and there's no way either of them can deny the attraction between them. But Eva’s sworn off men and even if she did allow herself to act on the feelings that keep growing stronger, there’s the small matter of her ‘fake date’ to deal with. Opposites will definitely attract, but only if they can get out of their own way long enough to see what they could have—together.
