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.
