About this book

When a desperate single dad and a woman desperate to reinvent herself strike a deal, neither expects the sparks—or the feelings—that come with it. Billy needs a wife to prove he's a fit father and keep his twin daughters safe from his late wife's judgmental family, while Cherry sees marriage as her ticket to respectability and a fresh start. Their marriage of convenience comes with a dangerous complication: a genuine connection that neither of them planned for. Watch as Texas's two most notorious troublemakers discover that sometimes the best relationships are the ones you never saw coming.
