HTML: Bella Chatham will lose everything - her veterinary practice, her animal shelter, and even her home - if she can't find another source of income, fast. So when her best friend signs her up for the hot new reality television show, Can You Beat a Billionaire, Bella accepts the challenge and hopes against hope she can win the ten million dollar prize. If she doesn't, it's bye-bye pet clinic and shelter, bye-bye Chance Creek, Montana, and hello to marriage to the billionaire for a year! Evan Mortimer, billionaire, can't believe he's reduced to competing in a television contest to win a wife. Unfortunately, it's the only foolproof way to secure his position as head of Mortimer Innovations. At least he'll be able to dump his "spouse" at the end of the year; he's much too busy to be tied down to a country bumpkin cowgirl. Bella doesn't expect her adversary to be handsome - or funny, or compassionate - but Evan's all three, and he's proving a tough competitor, too. When they end up sharing a tent - and a sleeping-bag - her body betrays her with a longing so deep it cuts her to the core. Still, this cowgirl must stay strong. If Evan uncovers her secret fears, he'll use them to win the contest - and then he'll own her for a year. She'll be out of luck, out of cash, and stuck being Mrs. Mortimer until he kicks her to the curb. Too bad she can't decide which is worse - winning the show and losing Evan forever, or losing the show and only being his temporary wife. Evan can't believe he's falling for the one woman who doesn't want him. This cowgirl's not impressed by his money, his name, or his inability to sleep in a tent with her for an entire night, but every look and touch she gives him sends his desire through the roof. With a director determined to use his claustrophobia to make him look like a fool, and an adversary so sexy he can hardly see straight, he'll need all his savvy to come out on top. Too bad he's going to lose no matter how this show turns out. If he beats Bella, he'll destroy the first woman he's ever loved. If he doesn't beat her, it's bye-bye Mortimer Innovations. Will either of them remember in time that it's not who wins or who loses - it's how they play the game that really counts?

Dont think too hard about how the two of them end up on a reality show together, where both have a lot at stake and neither can afford to lose. During the week, even when the cameras are on them, sparks fly and each find that both are damaged in some way - Bella from being blamed for an accident when she was 10, Evan from a needy, controlling mother and a fear of enclosed spaces.
During a week's worth of challenges, where they are permanently being filmed by the crews and the producer is on a knife-edge because of falling ratings, each challenge seems designed to boost ratings and put one or both at a disadvantage. The ever smaller tents put Evan on edge, and it is little alleviated being so close to Beth, whilst having a night camera fixed on them. They still manage to have sex on two of the nights, and Evan tries to use it as a tool to put Bella off the following day's challenges, only for it to backfire on him.
When Bella is confronted by kayaking followed by a challenge with h
