She answered a mail-order bride ad to disappear. She didn’t expect it to belong to her brother’s best friend.
Ellie James is backed into a corner—foreclosure on her chocolate shop, a controlling ex who won’t let go, and nowhere safe to run.

Wyatt Cooper has three rules: stay on his land, do what he says, and pretend to be his wife. It’s supposed to be temporary. A strategic ring. A fake marriage.
But the longer Ellie is trapped in Wyatt’s cabin—and the closer her stalker gets—the more she realizes the most dangerous thing on the mountain isn’t the man watching her… It’s the man who’s decided she’s his.
