I threw a pecan pie at Wyatt Rivers (my ex’s brother)… and now we’re fake-engaged on a reality show.
I threw a pecan pie at Wyatt Rivers, my ex’s brother, and now we’re fake-engaged on a reality show.
#PieGate went viral. A producer cast us in Homegrown Hearts. I need the prize to save my diner. He needs it for his cousin’s rehab. Deal: fake it, win it, walk away.
Except Wyatt doesn’t play fair.
He fixes things I don’t ask for. Stands too close when cameras are off. Kisses me for “practice,” and his hands forget where to stop.
Wyatt liked me first. I picked Aaron. And we’ve hated each other ever since.
A storm traps us with only one bed. I end up in his arms like I’ve been fighting gravity for fifteen years. For one reckless night, I believe he’s different.
Then my ex, Aaron, leaks Wyatt’s secret bull-riding contract on live TV—a contract that forces him to leave Sagebrush Ridge.
If I can’t tell the cowboy who stays from the one who leaves… I’ll lose more than the contest.
I’ll lose the one thing I’ve wanted since I was eleven—to be chosen.
