He’s been wrestling with himself ever since. The war is over, but the battle has just begun. Fay Morris’ life has taught her one thing: marry rich. Her plan is about to work until her family’s one enemy decides to play the hero. Three years ago, soldier Garrick Hampton made a mistake. He’s done running, but when he returns to Aster Ridge, nothing is as he expected. From the now-grown Fay to the unfamiliar feeling of home that makes his chest ache. When Fay’s brother goes missing in a winter storm, Garrick is glad to help and hopes for a sliver of forgiveness from Fay’s family. But Fay is no damsel, and she doesn’t need help from a greenhorn. When a stormy search for her brother means the lines between friends and enemies are blurred, and a fake marriage is required to keep them alive, will they learn what it is each of them really needs?
