A rock star, a social worker, and a teen in need of a family. Can their pretend relationship become real? Still blaming herself for a long-ago tragedy, not to mention a failed marriage, social worker Tessa Loughty focuses all her energy on redeeming herself through her job. But when she takes Ollie, a foster teen she bonded with, to the concert of a rock star he idolizes, the failures she’s hiding from catch up with her. Ari McFarland was a childhood friend and the lifelong crush she lost touch with. When they want to adopt Ollie, Ari suggests they form an unlikely union to increase their chances. But considering the differences between their worlds, she fears such a union won’t last as long as a one-hit-wonder band. Ari McFarland loves his fame and earned it, but reconnecting with someone as wholesome and selfless as Tessa has him questioning his values. He wants to make a difference in Ollie’s life, so Ari will put his heart on the line in a fake engagement—again. Is Ari ready to become an instant husband to a heartbroken woman who doubts herself and an instant father to a struggling teen? Or will Tessa’s dreams be shattered a second time? Welcome to Cowboy Crossing, a small town in the Show Me State where swoon-worthy single dad cowboys fall for strong-willed forty-something women, though sometimes those rugged handsome men might need a nudge—or a push. A bonus addition to the series, since so many readers asked for Ari's story. And here it is! Other books in the Cowboy Crossing Romances Prequel. Show Me a Single Dad Cowboy
