Publisher Description

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a small-town romance where a marriage of convenience to a former hockey player might be her only shot at keeping her family’s legacy—and maybe finding love along the way.

I never expected to inherit a sprawling estate in a small town I’d never even heard of.

To claim it, I have to outmaneuver my scheming cousin and fulfill one impossible condition:

Find a groom.

Enter Ledger Timberbridge—the infuriatingly charming stranger I crossed paths with on my solo (read: canceled) honeymoon.

Now, he’s here in Birchwood Springs, fighting to save his family’s struggling logging company.

And somehow, he’s probably my only shot at keeping my inheritance.

A marriage of convenience between us seems like the perfect solution.

But between small-town secrets, high-stakes family drama, and the undeniable spark between us, nothing about this arrangement feels simple.

As the lines between convenience and something real begin to blur, I have to decide:

Can I trust Ledger with my heart, or will this small town end up costing me everything?

Galeana finds herself in Italy on a solo honeymoon when she shares a memorable night with Ledger. Little do they know, their paths will cross again in unexpected ways. The story is well crafted, blending family drama, emotion, secrets, suspense, intrigue, and mystery. Their initial meeting is comical, as they start as adversaries but find a connection during their sparring matches. While Galeana may not have been our favorite character initially, her determination and naivety added depth to her personality. Ledger, on the other hand, charmed us with his humor and fun-loving nature. Despite the marriage of convenience, his genuine feelings shine through. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and they make a charming couple.
