Rhia Blaxwell Hart is desperate. Worse than that, she's desperate for a man. She needs a husband, or one to pretend to be anyway. An introverted, young widow and daughter of a dairy farmer, she's inherited the dilapidated family business in the foothills of South Carolina. She's got forty acres of farmland, forty head of Jersey cows to tend, and no one to help her. She decides it's time to take matters into her own hands and places an ad for a husband. Can she find a husband on the internet?Not exactly. But since beggars can't be choosers, she does find one willing to pose as her husband. Only one man answers her ad, and he's got a dangerous reason for doing so. She's letting her guard down and letting this man with a dark past onto her farm and into her life. With a man around the house, she's finally able to get the business back on its feet.But now that the farm is thriving and she can turn her attention to more important things like the sexy, motorcycle-riding bad-boy posing as her husband, life-threatening danger is discovered under her very own roof.
