Tick. Tock.

Tick. Tock.

Boom.

One moment, Kellie Zimmerman's looking at the clock and the next she's being told she's dead. Maybe it wasn't quite like that but it might as well have been.

Everything Kellie knew is gone and in its place is a new name, a new career, and...

A husband?

Hemming Johansen is a bit of a loner but when a military buddy asks him to join his company, he figures, why not? Move to Big Sky Country, work with some of his only friends...

And apparently, get married.

The woman he'll be legally tied to unknowingly got caught up in bad things and this is the next best thing to Witness Protection.

However, the longer he lives with her, the more he gets to know her—until one day, fake becomes real.

He's not so sure he'll be able to give her up if the day ever comes she no longer needs the immediate protection...

He'll do whatever it takes to prove to her this is where she wants to be.

In his arms. Forever.
