Publisher Description
Being a combat controller in the Air Force is all Colt Hall has ever wanted to be, so when he learns he has to marry in order to save his family’s ranch he figures he’ll make a business arrangement to get the job done. He sends pretty, uncomplicated Melanie Monroe back to Chance Creek to masquerade as his fiancee, but when an injury sends Colt back to Montana, too, he comes face to face with his past—and the woman he never forgot.
Heather Ward thought the Halls were gone for good, but now they're back and she can’t hide her secret from them any longer. Her son, Richard, is the spitting image of his father. Not Austin Hall, who she dated all through high school, but Colt, her one true love.
Colt never meant to leave the Air Force, never meant to marry and sure as heck never meant to be a father, but fate doesn’t seem to care what he wants. Worse yet, he can’t stop thinking about Heather, and he’s supposed to marry Melanie in a matter of weeks. Now he’s been roped into being a test client for a military style training program. The last thing he feels like facing is a winter camping trip with his fiancée and the mother of his child.
Heather’s always dreamed of sharing Richard with his father, but she never wanted a stepmother in the mix. It’s hard enough to keep her feelings for Colt hidden. But to watch him marry another woman? That might tear her apart. So when Richard joins the test run of the training camp, she’s reluctant to participate…until she realizes it’s her last chance to win Colt’s heart.

The Airman's E-Mail Order Bride
I love these books about email order brides. The series starts with 4 brothers needing to get married within a year in order to get ownership of their childhood ranch. One of them not only needed to marry but also have a child within a year. The conditions were set by their Aunt Heloise who also said they had to stock the ranch with cattle. These odd stipulations came about because the ranch was passed on to their Uncle Zeke after their father died when they were teenagers. When Zeke passed away, the ranch went to his wife, Heloise.
The boys - now men - are all in different parts of the military and close to their discharge dates when they find out about their aunt's conditions for giving them the ranch. Since they never had time to meet women in the military, the oldest, Mason, placed a wives wanted ad on the Internet.
This story in about Colt who is in the Air Force and going home soon. He knew his time to find a bride was dwindling so he put his own ad online for a fake wife for 6 months. After that she could leave but he would have met the condition to get the ranch so all would be good. Colt only had one woman he wanted and that was a woman from his past, Heather Ward. Heather had been his brother, Austin's girlfriend but when they broke up Colt asked her out. They slept together when he was 16 but because of his guilty feelings about many things he left home the next day and joined the Air Force.
Heather answered Colt's ad using a fake name because she didn't think he would respond if he knew it was her. She had never stopped loving him and hoped he would reply. She knew he would be back in Chance Creek soon and didn't know how to tell him he was a father.
Heather is a strong, independent woman who raised her son on her own. I was surprised at how forgiving she was of Colt leaving her without a word. Colt was a good man who made mistakes in his youth. And was about to make another one by hiring a fake wife. What a surprise when a fake fiancee showed up and Aunt Heloise met her. I can't say I liked Aunt Heloise and her condition for the men to get the ranch.
I highly recommend this book but want to say it's the last book in this series so don't read it first. Actually, reading them in order is best.
