A Passing Grade for the Cowboy: Elk Mountain Ranch Book Three - Paperback

by Ruth Pendleton (Author)

He needs the town gossip to get off his back. She needs to focus on protecting the students at her school. Can a fake relationship be the solution to both of their problems?

Reid Matthews isn't looking for love. The upcoming weddings of his two oldest brothers have all eyes turning to him as the town's most eligible bachelor. If he doesn't find dates for the weddings soon, he'll never be able to escape the matchmaking attempts of his nosy neighbors. He doesn't have a problem with dating. He has a problem with clingy women who get too attached. It's easier to stay single.

High school English teacher Millie Grant loves her job but she suspects corruption at the school. She needs people to stop trying to set her up so she can focus on the students while sleuthing behind the scenes. When she gets paired up with one of the groomsmen in her best friend's wedding, she sees an opportunity. Pretending to date the handsome cowboy will keep the matchmakers off her back so she can work. After all, what harm is there in a little white lie?

Armed with a fake dating contract, both Reid and Millie know that their plan is bullet proof. Dating is all fun and games until Millie starts to develop real feelings. She's ready to give her heart away, but Reid isn't ready to commit. The best thing for both of them is to let the relationship go.

When a disaster hits the school and Reid comes to the rescue, Millie realizes that maybe there's more to the cowboy's kiss than she's giving him credit for. She's used to doing the teaching, but when it comes to love, Millie has a lot to learn.

The Matthews family saga continues in A Passing Grade for the Cowboy. This clean romance series is most fun if read in order, starting with A Llama for the Cowboy.
