Barb Carico's life is all about business. Now that her best friend has tied the knot with her high school sweetheart and Barb's new partner, she's busier than ever. Managing Jesse Sullivan's career and public persona can be a handful. Add in an aging mother who goes through home health nurses like candy, Barb's hanging on the edge.
Her one salvation? Hunter Martin, prodigal son of Martin Family Dairy and, hopefully, Jesse's next sponsor. A promise his father had already made before Hunter took over the public relations department. After his brother's death, Hunter's become an instant dad to his seven-year-old niece. More responsibility. For Hunter, the rodeo weekend with Barb is the perfect excuse to relax.
When their dinner turns into drinks and then a quick trip to a Vegas wedding chapel, both Barb and Hunter agree their nuptials were a mistake. A mistake they consummated the next evening. As soon as they're home, the marriage will be annulled. That's what they both want. Or at least what they tell themselves.
Upon their return, Hunter finds that distant relatives are suing him for custody of his niece. The only way for him to keep custody is to design a life that matches the promise of a perfect family. For that, he needs Barb to stay married to him. Hunter would give her anything to go along with the charade.
Barb doesn't know anything about being a wife or mother but she needs one favor. A favor she'll trade her lifestyle, independence, and even risk her heart to make come true.
