Love, Lies & Cowboy Ties: Her Billionaire Cowboy’s Fake Wedding Fiasco by Debra Clopton

What happens when the only way to protect your family—and your heart—is by pretending to tie the knot? Her Billionaire Cowboy’s Fake Wedding Fiasco, the second book in Debra Clopton’s McCoy Billionaire Brothers series, brings together the charm of small-town ranch life, the glitz of billionaire stakes, and the emotional chaos of falling for someone you were never supposed to love for real.

It’s a fake relationship romance with high emotional payoff and just the correct dose of romantic comedy. With complicated family dynamics, buried feelings, and a sizzling slow burn, this book is more than a romcom—it’s a heartfelt journey about trust, identity, and love blooming in the most unexpected places.

Why Her Billionaire Cowboy’s Fake Wedding Fiasco Feels So Right, Right Now

In a time when the world feels unpredictable, romance readers are seeking emotional security—stories where love wins, even when everything else is falling apart. Debra Clopton gives us that, but without making it too easy. Her characters earn their happiness through vulnerability, personal growth, and yes—a whole lot of awkward fake wedding prep.

The idea of a “fake relationship” in romance may be familiar, but Clopton refreshes the trope with real emotional stakes. This isn’t just a cover story—it’s a rescue plan, a means of protecting what matters most, and a deeply complicated emotional entanglement that unfolds with humour and heart.

A Cowboy in Crisis and the Woman Who Can Save Him

The plot centres on a McCoy brother—wealthy, successful, and intensely loyal—who finds himself in a bind that only a wedding ring can fix. Enter our heroine: independent, spirited, and not at all the type to say yes to playing pretend. But circumstances (and maybe a little fate) push them into a fake engagement that neither of them truly believes will stay fake for long.

Their chemistry is immediate but complicated. Beneath the banter and bickering is a foundation of mutual respect and slow-building trust. And as the lines between pretend and reality begin to blur, the emotional tension ratchets up beautifully.

Clopton knows how to write dialogue that sizzles without being saccharine, and she grounds every romantic moment in something more profound—grief, guilt, fear of failure—which makes the eventual payoff all the more satisfying.

Tropes That Work Hard (and Play Harder)

Her Billionaire Cowboy’s Fake Wedding Fiasco delivers everything a trope-lover wants, with fresh energy and emotional depth. Expect:

• Fake relationship turns real—with plenty of swoon and snark
• Billionaire cowboy energy (yes, it’s a thing—and Clopton nails it)
• Opposites attract, but in ways that feel authentic and character-driven
• Small-town charm meets high-society stakes
• Protective hero, emotionally guarded but quietly yearning

The “wedding fiasco” isn’t just comic relief—it becomes a narrative tool to peel back the characters’ defences and bring them face to face with what they truly want. This is not just a romance about pretending to love—it’s a romance about learning how to stop pretending not to.
