Her Pretend Cowboy by Ellen Joy

He’s just a farmer, but she needs him to play cowboy, and much more. With all the pretending, will they ever find real happiness?

Annie is a washed-up country music singer who’s fame and fortune have disappeared now that her one-hit-wonder has dropped off the charts. With no job and no money, she reluctantly returns to her hometown of Prairie Valley to plan her rise back to the top.
Luke, a quiet farmer, has found comfort in his guitar over the years to help him deal with a loss. When his old friend, Annie, returns to town he starts playing with her in hopes of helping her get her career back on track.

Annie thinks her prayers have been answered when they get noticed by a producer. But, there’s a catch. The producer will only sign them as a duo and he wants them to pretend to be a romantic couple in public. To make things even more awkward, he wants Luke to play the part of a cowboy.
Luke wants to help Annie, but he’s hesitant to leave his life on the farm, especially to go off and pretend to be something he’s not. But, when they start to realize that they’re no longer pretending, at least when it comes to their feelings for each other, there are some tough decisions to be made.

Is the cost of pretending too high or will their make-believe life become a happy reality?
