She gave up everything to save her family... but who will save her heart?

Aurora Middleton thought losing her best friend was the worst heartbreak she'd ever endure—until duty demanded she give up love itself. To protect her family from ruin, she agrees to a marriage that shatters her dreams.

With steely resolve, she heads west to Laurel, Montana—chasing hope, freedom, and a life on her own terms. What she doesn't expect is the quiet strength of a small-town doctor... or the sparks that fly the moment they meet.

Evan Jones left the East behind, along with the privileged world and painful memories he'd rather forget. When a storm forces Aurora and her companion into his home, he offers shelter—but he never expects the woman with fire in her eyes to stir feelings he swore he'd buried.

She's his unwanted temptation. He's her unexpected chance.
