Publisher's Synopsis
A whispered promise to her dying mother burdens Abby Stewart with the debts of her con-artist father. After years of struggle, the debt is finally down to fifty thousand dollars. She'll do anything to rid herself of her father's legacy of deceit, even lay aside her own integrity to playact at being Kevin Karlson's fiancée. Kevin, her boss, needs a beautiful and intelligent woman to stand by him as he receives an award in his hometown of North Fork, Colorado. And he's willing to pay handsomely. Her father's debt will be settled after only three weeks. She can live with that. When Kevin abandons her at the family's dairy, she learns that his family-most importantly his brother, Jake-are everything Abby admires. They work hard, serve their community, and live lives distinguished by honesty. In fact, Jake values honesty above everything. Abby soon develops feelings for Jake but to reveal her heart is to admit she has been lying to him and his family. She can't imagine a future without Jake, yet can't imagine he could love a liar. Will Abby leave North Fork never admitting her love to Jake? Or will she chance everything on the truth?
