Fake has never been so real...
Mallory "Baby" Gillham needs a second chance. Give a guy a private lingerie show and suddenly everyone in town is talking about you. Again. But Mallory wants to stay in Starlight Hill permanently, the one place she feels safe, even if the only men interested in her now are SLs (stripper lovers.)
His contract with the U.S. Army complete, Ranger Liam Turlock is stateside again and must decide whether he'll re-up for another four. He's been invited for a stay in Starlight Hill and some much-needed R&R. Liam suspects this is just the Turlocks' intrusive way of fixing him up. They've got their choices lined up for him and he's not interested in any of them.
When Liam meets Mallory while hiding behind a rack of banana hammocks at the Tatas and More lingerie shop (don't ask) he has an idea. He and Mallory will pretend to date so that 1. Mallory can repair her good-time girl image; and 2. Liam can get his family off his back. So for now, or at least until Liam goes back home to Colorado, he and Mallory are a thing to anyone who asks, especially anyone with the last name of Turlock.
