About Will You Marry Me, Mr. Wilder?

When 25-year-old ranch heiress Ava Hart recklessly rejects a cruel arranged marriage, she shocks high society by proposing a sham engagement to Jack Wilder, a brooding forty-year-old cowboy hiding a wounded past. Desperate to protect her family’s legacy from her scheming uncle Randall and a ruthless developer bent on destroying Hart Ranch, Ava needs a protector who cannot be bought. Jack Wilder is rugged, guarded, and determined to keep his distance, yet he cannot resist stepping in whenever danger strikes. To safeguard everything her father built, Ava offers Jack a deal: play her devoted fiancé for just one month. What begins as a convenient contract quickly spirals into scorching temptation and high-stakes peril. Between suspicious barn fires, mounting debts, relentless corporate sabotage, and scandalous public whispers, every crisis forces the fiery young heiress and her stoic protector into each other’s arms. Ava fights fiercely to prove she has the strength to run the ranch on her own terms, while Jack must finally confront the guilt, fear, and age gap holding him back. As real passion ignites beneath their fake promise, will Jack let his walls crumble before their enemies burn their future to the ground?
