Wyoming rancher Riley Stratton has nothing in common with his newly discovered young nephew Jakeโs imaginary โstardust cowboyโโthe one who makes dreams come true. Rileyโs own dreams died so many years ago, he doesnโt even think about them anymore. Now he just works hard, doing his duty by the family ranch. He knows itโs only fair to buy out Jakeโs half.
Trouble is, Jake has dreams too. After inheriting half a ranch, Jake's boyish dreams of becoming a cowboy are alive and well. Which means Riley's world is about to expand to include Jake's fiercely determined, seriously tempting mother, Dori Malone, too. And much to Riley's dismay, Dori stirs his dormant dreams to life.
But Riley doesnโt trust those dreams. He doesnโt trust Dori. He gave his heart once and wonโt do it again. Some men are made for love. Others, like Riley, are made for duty. And some dreams not even Jakeโs "stardust cowboy" can make come true. Or can they?
