From New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Adams, a small-town Southern romance of a fake relationship, a guarded single mother, and a wounded war hero who swore he'd never let anyone depend on him again-until love slips past both their defenses.
Summer Maddox has had nothing but bad luck with men, and the one good thing to come of it is her daughter. She carries a quiet guilt that her little girl has no father figure in her life, but Summer has learned from her mistakes, and she has no intention of repeating them.
After three tours in Afghanistan, Travis Southerland is finally home. His body is mending, but his heart still aches for the friends he lost, and he isn't sure he'll ever feel whole again. The last thing he wants is another person depending on him for anything, ever.
When family events keep throwing them together, neither can deny the spark-and neither wants a relationship. A practical arrangement, though, might solve both their problems and get their families off their backs. But just because they aren't looking for love doesn't mean it won't find them, if either of them is brave enough to reach for it.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Fake-relationship small-town Southern romance
- A single mother and a wounded war hero
- Warm, tender, emotional slow-burn heat
- Healing, second chances, and unexpected love
