Synopsis (Goodreads):
Welcome to Heart Falls, where there's more at stake than the future of the Silver Stone ranch.

A standalone novel by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.

With the ranch teetering on the brink of disaster, accepting an invitation to the gala of the year is a top business priority for Luke Stone. Having a significant other on his arm isn’t merely a good idea, it’s a necessity. Doesn't matter that he’s currently single—there’s a logical solution. Kelli is easy company, a vital part of ranch operations, and willing to sing Silver Stone’s praises all day long. She’ll be perfect.

Kelli James has kept a lot of secrets over the eight years since she boldly walked onto the ranch. Her biggest challenge, though, has been hiding her crush on the sexiest cowboy she’s ever laid eyes on. When Luke informs her they’re headed to the mountains for a week-long, work-related event, she’s not sure what to expect.

That he signed her up to play the part of the perfect rancher’s bride-to-be wasn’t it…
Thoughts on A Rancher's Bride: It's nice being back in Heart Falls with the Stones. They're a tight-knit group who work well together. Even when they're making bone-headed, spur of the moment decisions without taking into account how it might affect certain other people.

*ahem* Like Luke did with Kelli.

Now, to be fair, Luke really was thinking about how this opportunity would be a step in the right direction for the ranch. Which is good. He just didn't think to inform Kelli of his teeny-tiny prevarication until he 11-th hour. Which could have been DISASTROUS. Fortunately for him, Kelli's both smart and willing to do what it takes to help the ranch.

The fact she's been pining for him for YEARS doesn't hurt either. Because, you know, spending quality one-on-one time with the man you've come to admire and wouldn't mind getting physical with isn't that much of a hardship. Providing she doesn't get her heart broken in the end.

A slew of familiar faces rounds out the cast of characters. All the Stones want to find a way to keep the ranch in family hands and they're willing to think creatively to do it. *thumbs up*
