As a boy, Kent Coleman Landover played "K.C. Cowboy and the Countess Anna" with the housekeeper's daughter Anna Delaney. As a man, Kent drove himself to the head of his own financial empire. On the brink of world-wide expansion and an in-name-only marriage, amnesia made Kent believe he truly was K.C. - and he began desperately searching for his countess...

Anna had never forgotten the young man who'd captured her heart so completely. But she hardly expected to see the billion-dollar bachelor on her doorstep - proposing! On doctor's orders, Anna agreed to play the part of K.C.'s bride, knowing she had to make him remember he was practically pledged to another - and wishing she could become Kent's real-life countess even after her fantasy's clock struck twelve.
