One hot-blooded cowgirl. One cool-headed CEO. One fake combustible engagement…what could go wrong? As the lone girl in the sizeable McKay family, Keely McKay doesn’t need another man giving her orders or advice. So it figures that the restoration specialist required to update her newly acquired building is none other than uptight Jack Donohue—her brother’s best friend and a certified pain in her Wranglers. Jack is this close to securing a career-defining project, until he learns his bachelor status puts him out of contention. When the hot-bodied and notoriously hot-tempered Keely begs for his help, he proposes a mutually beneficial deal; he’ll oversee her restoration—if she acts the part of his fiancée. Their sizzling lust overtakes their animosity and they shift from butting heads to knocking boots. But outside the bedroom they’re as mismatched as ever. Small town Wyoming reminds Jack of the humble upbringing he left behind, and country girl Keely feels she doesn’t measure up to Jack’s big-city expectations. What will it take for Jack and Keely to recognize their pretend relationship has somehow become the real deal?

At age 50, Maria Leonard Olsen drank her way out of her 25-year marriage. She had, against advice, put all her eggs in the motherhood basket, willfully derailing her successful law career. As teenagers, her precious children did not need her in the hands-on way they previously had. Her husband and she had grown apart because, among other things, they failed to nurture that important relationship. She was depressed and stuck. When she turned 50, she had the distinct feeling that she was on the downward slope of her life. Actuarially speaking, she was. So when she turned 50, her gift to herself was to go on a crusade to make the most of whatever time she had left. She set out to do 50 new things that were significant, at least to her. The list spanned physical challenges, adventure travel, and lifestyle changes. Each taught her something about herself and about how she wanted to lead the next years of her life to come. This work follows the work she did to accomplish those 50 new things and shows readers how to make their own action lists - whether it be joining a knitting club or hiking the Himalayas, every item has significance for each individual and speaks to her needs and desires. The list is the match to spark the fire that will light the years after 50. Readers will hear about Maria's adventures and the rewards of each. Accomplishing new things, learning new skills, deepening personal and spiritual relationships, and seeking out challenges will add the spice to a life that may feel repetitive, insignificant, inauthentic, or just plain boring.
