Finding out your sister is marrying your ex is a major gut punch. The thought of showing up to the wedding solo? Even worse. That's exactly the situation Harlow Hayes is in, unless she finds a date—fast.



Enter Linc Masters.



Childhood nemesis turned local firefighter. The boy who tormented her every chance he got, now the man who lives to push every one of her buttons. She can't stand him, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and he might be the only one bold enough to pull it off.



The plan is simple: fake the perfect love story, survive the weekend, go back to hating each other. Only, the longer they pretend, the more the lines begin to blur. Old memories resurface. New sparks catch fire.



And the secret they buried that night on Heart Mountain has them questioning everything. Like, maybe the legend isn't just a story. Maybe the villain was the hero all along.



And maybe—just maybe—the rivalry was only a disguise for something far more beautiful waiting to be told.



Contains mature themes.
