Her Cowboy Bear by Meg Ripley

A fake romance. A very real danger.

Jesse:
Being in charge of the horses on the Crawford Ranch has its perks.
My favorite? Having my pick of the female visitors looking for a ride.
I’m not tied down to a mate, so every day’s an adventure.
Until my parents throw a wrench into my wild bachelor life.
They’re selling the family farm that was supposed to be passed down to me—
Unless I can show them I’m finally ready to settle down with a mate.
I’m not ready for all that, but they don’t need to know.
I’ve got a plan up my sleeve, and it involves the new blue-eyed beauty in town.
We both need fake mates.
The only problem? My bear isn’t convinced our little game is fake at all.

Aspen:
After leaving my abusive ex for dead, I needed to get out of Colorado. Fast.
I escaped to Wyoming, hoping to start anew.
But my genius idea didn’t go as planned.
The jerk survived, and now he’s on my trail.
So when a cocky cowboy asks if I’ll pretend to be his mate, I’m all in.
I’m not looking for a rebound, only a cover.
Even if that slow smile of his has my bear doing cartwheels.
Hell, I know he’s my mate, but why did I have to find him now?
Especially when I’m carrying something from my past that could turn our lives upside down.
