About the Book
After a midnight tryst results in a marriage-of-convenience, hearts ignite and chaos ensues when a military hero and his sister’s best friend must unexpectedly make their fake marriage real in a way they never intended.
Harlan Shea has always loved one woman…a woman he would never risk by bringing into the darkness of his world. When she needs a favor from him so she can adopt a foster child in need, he’s all-in on a marriage-of-convenience. It might not be real, but it gives his soul a life-saving anchor as he heads off on his next deadly mission.
Emma Larson has returned to her hometown to heal from a marriage she barely survived. All she wants is to adopt a desperate little girl and start her life as a powerful, single woman…until Harlan returns to Birch Crossing for one magical night, awakening passion in her she thought she’d buried forever.
He leaves her with a ring on her finger, and the independence she needs so desperately…until fate intervenes. Suddenly, they need to convince the world that they truly are in love…which might be closer to the truth than either of them is ready to admit. Can two such broken hearts finally heal?
