Searching for a new future... Fort Besingame has left behind a troubled past to return to his mother’s Wyoming ranch, aspiring to become Sheriff and rebuild his life. However, convincing the townsfolk of his commitment requires more than words—he needs a bride.

Running from the past... Cori Walters, burdened by her father’s notorious legacy, accepts a temporary role posing as Fort’s fiancée to escape her stifling small town and pursue her dreams of photography. But the man she once knew—and resented—is the very person she must now rely on. Together, they must overcome family rivalries to protect their futures. If they don’t kill each other first, they might just fall in love.

Searching for a new future...

Fortune "Fort" Besingame left ranch life years ago, joining the Navy to escape the shame of his father's gambling addiction and the enormity of his losing the ranch on a bet. Now Fort has returned to Wyoming, to his mother's ranch in hopes of starting a new life. A former Military Police, he wants to run for Sheriff... but convincing the townsfolk Fort intends to put down roots in the small community is going to take more than words. He needs a bride.

Running from the past...

Cori Walters realizes she will never become the photographer she dreams of being in the town where her father's—former mayor turned cattle rustler—legacy taints everything she attempts to accomplish. When her friend offers her a temporary job posing as a fiancé, Cori decides going to Wyoming might be just the new start she needs. Until she realises her pretend groom-to-be is someone she knows from high school... and hates her. Somehow Fort and Cori have to put aside their family differences long enough to get Fort elected. If they don't kill each other—or fall in love.

The Cowboy's Make Believe Bride Special Edition by Kristi Rose blends heartwarming romance with a journey of redemption, making it a captivating read for anyone seeking a delightful escape into a world where love and new beginnings triumph against the odds.
