A cowboy afraid of risking his heart, a broke chef with a dream, and a business arrangement that changes everything.
After the last four years, Bear West is tired of being the fifth wheel during his familyâs yearly holiday get togethersâbut heâs not ready to put his heart on the line. Itâs safer to hire someone to be his girlfriend. Except when he meets Winnie Fordham, his heartâs beating a different tune.
Winnie Fordham is on borrowed time. She made a deal with her dad that if her dream of opening a restaurant didnât happen within two years, sheâd hang up her apron to join his law firm. When her best friend and partner cleans out the bank account, sheâs gotta think outside the box to make her dream come trueâlike pretending to be Bear Westâs girlfriend.
Itâs a short-term business arrangement until they realize they might just have all the ingredients to make it forever.
