A woman desiring a husband and a family; a man that vows to never marry any woman, and a marriage of convenience that changes them both forever.

June Clark's reputation was in tatters. Her marriage was a fraud. She lost everything, including her pride, in a fire started by her reprobate husband. And to make matters worse, she'd never be a mother. Desperate for a second chance, June reaches out to the local matchmaker, never dreaming that she'd be matched to a cowboy with a reputation for womanizing, drinking, and gambling!

When Ranger finally agrees to a temporary marriage of convenience until the child is one year old, he promises that it will be in name only.
