When Davis Murphy, cowboy wannabe and one of Dallas’ most eligible bachelors, asks Charlie Nelson to pretend to be his fiancée, her reaction is to run far and fast.

Charlie, raised by two older, very protective, brothers on a South Texas cattle ranch, wants only one thing: to avoid thrill-seeking cowboys. She clings to the security of her safe and steady job as a librarian.

Davis needs a fiancée so his widowed mother will marry her gentleman friend whose company is transferring him to Japan. She has refused to wed until Davis is settled.

Charlie is the perfect answer if only she’ll go along with the scheme. Can he talk her into becoming his temporary fiancée? And once he does, can he convince her to become his real wife?

Born in Dallas, Kathy Carmichael lives in Florida with her husband, sons, dog, cat and dust bunny collection. She’s the soccer mom you see at practices Ñ the one with her nose stuck in a book. She believes one of the best gifts you can give your children is reading to them. She’s trying to pass on a love for the written word and hopes each of you will too.
