Reporter Ellie Blair will lie, masquerade as someone else, and even play mail-order bride if that's what it takes to break the story that makes her name bigger than Nellie Bly's. Wyoming is just a backdrop. Her would-be groom is just a source. She is absolutely, positively not going to fall in love with him.

Treasury Agent Jim West is this close to dismantling the Irish Mob's frontier operation, and his cover as a bachelor rancher waiting on a mail-order bride is airtight-or it was, until his bride turned out to be the one person whose sharp reporter's eyes might see straight through him. Two people. Two lies. One collision of hearts neither one planned for.

Blinded by ambition and bound by deception, what will it take for them to lay down their masks-and trust what's real? In a world where every word is a performance, discovering true love may be the most dangerous assignment either of them has ever taken.
