He’s been waiting his whole life to experience the McQuaid legacy of love. He just never expected it with the one woman who is determined to keep him in the friend zone.

Charming lady’s man Kade McQuaid is the head wrangler at his family ranch. As the youngest of his siblings, he’s spent his life trying to catch up to all of them and their successes but somehow always falls short. After his dad’s cancer diagnosis, Kade took a year off from professional bull riding, and he’s itching to get going again to make a name for himself.

Brielle Hendrix is facing a mountain of overdue bills, including a foreclosure notice on her farm. With the extra responsibility of caring for her infant nephew, she continues to lose her cleaning-business clients. To top it all off, her health is suffering, and she blacks out and is rushed to hospital. Without insurance, she can’t afford the medical tests she needs.

Since she’s one of his closest friends—and a woman he’s always secretly admired—Kade wants to help Brielle with her problems. He proposes the only solution he can think of—a marriage of convenience so that Brielle can keep her farm and benefit from his health insurance. But will their rushed marriage end up ruining their friendship? Or will it bloom into something beautiful?
