Can an accidental marriage between a rebellious cowgirl and a straitlaced single-dad doctor become true love? After a traumatic divorce, Aurora Moore never wants to get married again. But when her rock-singer boyfriend, Ari, needs married status to clean up his act for a budding new career, she reluctantly agrees to help. What should she do when she realizes the man she just married is her boyfriend’s twin? In Vegas for his brother’s wedding, Carter McFarland wakes up with a throbbing headache after too many painkillers—and a ring on his finger! Apparently, Ari’s drunken friends mistook Carter for Ari and dragged Carter to the altar while Ari was asleep. Annulment in order, right? But, due to a painful secret, Carter needs a mother for his son, who takes an immediate shine to Aurora. Carter’s father threatens him with a heart attack and his grandmother with her cane when he as much as peeps that his marriage was a mistake. With time, he also senses vulnerability and kindness behind Aurora’s rebellious facade and is drawn toward the vibrant woman. But is it enough to turn a stand-in husband into a real one? 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.
