I married my lawyer to save my son. Now I can’t tell where the lie ends and love begins. I return to Wild Creek with nothing but a suitcase and my four-year-old.
My abusive ex is hunting us, determined to take Luke away.
Levi Hollis is the last man I should lean on—my lawyer, forbidden protector, the one who makes me feel safe when I swore I never would. He proposes a marriage of convenience to prove I’m stable.
One courthouse kiss, meant for the judge, sets my body on fire. Living in his home turns into whispers, touches, intimacy I never thought I’d want.
I tell myself it’s pretend. He’s risking his career. I’m broken. Then he’s making dinosaur pancakes with my son, acting like the family we’ve craved. I’ve already fallen.
But the man I ran from isn’t finished. If he finds us, I don’t just risk losing Luke— I risk being dragged back into the nightmare I survived… and losing the man who made me believe in forever.
