Description
THE AGE GAP, SINGLE DAD COWBOY ROMANCE OF THE SUMMER
Making music was supposed to be Adriana's ticket out of Bravetown, the Wild West theme park where she spent her teenage summers serving drinks in a saloon skirt.
But after being cut from the tour of country music's golden boy, Brooks Monroe, she's right back where she started - pouring drinks for tourists and wondering where it all went wrong.
Brooks walked away from fame - and from Adriana - when he learned he had a daughter. Now, three years later, Brooks is in Bravetown, determined to make amends. But when he sees how badly the park is struggling, and how much his daughter loves it there, he buys it outright. . . and asks Adriana for one more favour.
He needs her to pretend to be his fiancee.
But as fake kisses turn into real sparks, Adriana must decide if Brooks - and Bravetown - could be her future after all. . .
Tropes:
Black cat x golden retriever
Age gap
Fake engagement
Small town
