A cowboy with a Purple Heart. A reporter with a broken heart. Which one is her Mr. Right?

When decorated war hero Dale Sumner yanks Lucy Daniels from the path of stampeding cattle in front of half of Cheyenne, a sharp-eyed reporter captures the moment. Overnight, Lucy and Dale become the home front's favorite love story.

Never mind that it isn't real.

Playing a patriot's sweetheart suits Lucy well enough-especially if it helps her brother Joey overseas. But as she tours Wyoming and Colorado on Dale's arm, selling war bonds and smiling for the cameras, she can't ignore the man behind the lens: Bryce Richard.

Quietly principled and a little world-weary, Bryce came to Cheyenne to escape his father's newspaper empire and write something that matters. He didn't plan on Lucy.

Now she's caught between the decorated cowboy the headlines insist she loves...and the reporter she has no business wanting.

Because in 1943, hope is rationed-and some headlines break more than hearts.
