Love, Canter, Action

Nora Green wants out. Out of rural Georgia--and, more importantly, out of the house she's been resentfully occupying with her father and his wife. It's been five months since her mama died and the state dumped her on her father's doorstep, and Nora's been counting every second.

With the sudden closure of the Shep horse ranch, Nora's last home-away-from-home, comes two surprises: news of her admission to a prestigious equine training program in Montana, and a job wrangling horses on a movie set to cover the costs.

To her eternal nightmare, she discovers that the movie stars teen heartthrob Alexander Mathis, hot off the heels of a very public scandal. Not that Nora cares who he is--to her, he's just the obnoxious stranger who interrupted her dinner the night before.

When photos of their argument are misread as a passionate affair, the Internet falls head-over-hooves for Hollywood's newest couple. Eager to capitalize on the press, Alec offers Nora a deal: go on three fake dates with him, and he'll cover her ticket to Montana.

But the lines between script and reality have a way of blurring, and when the truth about Alec's scandal catches up to him, Nora has a choice: continue shutting everyone out, or open her heart to the love that's always been around her.
