The deal was simple. Marry the cowboy. Pretend to be in love. Go our separate ways when the twelve months are up. What could possibly go wrong? I've spent the last year simply trying to survive but the massive amount of debt to my name and a bar on the brink of collapse, I'm quickly running out of options. The last thing I expect is to be offered an out by Sunstone Ridge's most eligible bachelor. Roman Knight is small-town royalty. Rich. Powerful. Untouchable. And as desperate as I am. He needs a wife, and I need money, what could possibly go wrong by making a deal to marry the cowboy with his own reasons to never fall in love? It's only twelve months; we both get what we need from it and at the end, we go our separate ways. We both swear this thing is temporary and I told myself I could get through it, that I wouldn't fall in love, but the more time I spend on the ranch and with him, the more Roman starts to knock down my carefully constructed walls. But the foundations we're balancing on are delicate and getting close to him comes with risks. One thing I know for sure though, is that secrets don't stay buried, and when ghosts from Roman's past come back to haunt him, it's me who gets caught in the crossfire.
