Black Hills Bachelor

Single by choice. That's what Mac McGannon tells himself. With both feet planted firmly on the ground—or deep in his family's gold mine—Mac has no time for the "Hollywood types" that have invaded his hometown of Sentinel Pass. Especially not the beautiful TV star who desperately needs his help. Any attraction he feels is pure fantasy. But try telling that to his little daughter, who's convinced Morgana Carlyle is a real-life princess.

Actors lie for a living. Morgana Carlyle has built her career on a carefully crafted image, but beneath the glamour lies a devastating secret. She's not who everyone thinks she is—and if the truth comes out, it could destroy the Sentinel Passtime production and shatter the hearts of a very special little girl and her gruff, protective father. The last man she should fall for, but the only one who makes her want to stop pretending.

When Mac's family mine becomes the key to saving the show, he and Morgana are forced to work together. But as walls come down and hearts open up, they'll discover that the biggest obstacle to their happiness isn't Hollywood scandal or small-town gossip—it's learning to trust in a love that's anything but an act.
