When a leaked scandal threatens his career, he’s sent back to Copper Lake, Wyoming, with strict instructions: lay low, work at Sunset Hope ranch, and stay out of trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would be the perfect plan… if Copper Lake didn’t come with Harlan Pierce. Once Trace’s best friend, almost his everything, Harlan now works at Sunset Hope, and is determined to keep his heart guarded, and their shared history exactly where it belongs: in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut staying out of trouble becomes impossible when Trace’s agent proposes a reckless solution: a fake relationship with the one man he can’t stand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only problem?
