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 he finds out she wants to adopt the baby of a local criminal, he rebuffs the interfering local matchmaker trying to push them together. 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. What happens when Ranger starts to fall for his new wife and child, but June wants to keep to the original agreement? Can he overcome her resistance and convince her to become The Cowboy's Bride?
