Second Chance Vows

A Small Town Fake Dating Romance

I’m a widow… and now my late husband’s best friend wants me to fake an engagement with him.

The last time I saw Asher Merrick, he was standing beside me at my husband’s funeral.

Now I’m drowning in debt, and the man who was off-limits shows up with a proposition I should laugh at.

Pretend to be his fiancée. Smile for the cameras. Save his empire. In exchange, he’ll save the one thing I have left—my shop, my future, my last piece of myself.

I tell myself it’s business.

That I can ignore the way his touch feels like fire.

That I won’t fall for the man who carries every reminder of the life I lost.

Then he kisses me in front of the town—

whispers things that don’t sound like pretend.

Secrets don’t stay buried in Willow Creek.

And when our scandal collides with my survival, I realize—

The only man who makes me feel alive is the one who could break me all over.
