A man who lost everything. A woman squatting on a property that's not hers. An aunt who suggests a marriage of convenience. When Smith Long strides into his new hometown, he doesn't expect to get bowled over by a woman chasing her cow whom she claims has fallen in love with a pig. Doesn't every small town have that one crazy person? He's not laughing later, though, when his aunt informs him that in order for him to receive the old, rundown property she'd promised him, he has to marry the crazy woman he'd hoped to never see again. Abrielle Adams is squatting on a ranch outside of Sweet Water, North Dakota and hoping that she'll get back on her feet before the heir shows up. Wishful thinking since she finds out that the man who'd kept her from catching her cow is the very person she was trying to avoid. But now Abrielle has been offered the one thing she could really use - half ownership of the ranch she's been "borrowing" - and all she has to do is marry a (grumpy, sour, and okay, handsome) stranger. To both Abrielle and Smith, marriage is more than convenience and a vow is a lifetime commitment. Will they see how much they have in common and decide they need each other?

Shorthanded in his business on Sweet Briar Ranch, Baker Lawrence is relieved when his friend, Zeke shows up to help. Unfortunately, he hadn't counted on Zeke bringing his sister, Princess Kennedy Weaver-Payne, reeling from a divorce from her husband, the heir to the Cornith throne, after his very public affair. She's in North Dakota to heal and to hide from the paparazzi. Baker isn't quite sure how he became her babysitter, and he's looking for a way to get out of it. Because Kenni is a lot more down to earth - and a lot more appealing - than he ever thought a Princess would be. She's the girl next door, just as sweet and kind as she'd been all those years ago when he crushed on her in high school. Kennedy Weaver wants out of the fish bowl. For ten years, people micromanaged her life and her every move was reported in news outlets all over the earth. Since her husband's infidelity, and their subsequent divorce, Kenni just wants to be left alone to figure things out. North Dakota seems like the perfect place. Only, because of one little kidnapping and ransom incident, her older brother thinks she needs a bodyguard. She supposes he's probably right, but she'd really like it to be anyone other than Baker Lawrence. He's been her brother's best friend forever and her very first crush. There is no man more solid and dependable than Baker. When reporters come to Sweet Water asking questions, they end up improvising to keep Kenni's identity secure. A fake marriage is the perfect foil, but will it end up being more than they bargained for?

After her husband died, leaving her with six kids to raise on her own, Piper Hughes struggles to hold everything together on a hairdresser's small wage. She has no hope of expanding her two bedroom ranch house and doesn't want to rely on the charity of the town, either. She definitely doesn't want some strange man coming in, being too kind, stealing her kids' hearts and turning her world upside down. He'll be leaving when he's done. After all, what man would want a woman with six kids? Former airman, Gideon Marsh, would've had the single mother's addition done last spring, but he'd broken his leg and couldn't work.

Cassie is fed up with online dating, but just when she’s finally decided to give up, firefighter Jett Bentley takes her on an amazing first date. But when they both go home and find three children dropped in their laps—each—they independently decide to do the right and mature thing: hide the kids from each other while sorting it all out. What could go wrong? Cassie Everson is an expert at escaping bad first dates. And, after years of meeting, greeting, and running from the men who try to woo her, Cassie is almost ready to retire her hopes for a husband—and children—altogether. But fate has other plans, and Cassie’s online dating profile catches the eye of firefighter Jett Bentley. In Jett’s memory, Cassie Everson is the unreachable girl-of-legend from their high school days. Nervously, he messages her, setting off a chain of events that forces a reluctant Cassie back into the dating game. No one is more surprised than Cassie when her first date with Jett is a knockout—but when Cassie finds herself caring for three sisters in an emergency foster placement, she decides to hide them from Jett to avoid scaring him off. When Jett’s sister’s addiction issues land her three children at his home, he decides the last thing Cassie needs to know about is his family drama. Neither dares to tell the other about their unexpected and possibly permanent family members for fear of scaring away their potential soulmate, especially since they both listed "no kids” on their profiles! With six children between them and secrets mounting, can Cassie and Jett find a way forward?
