Laura Jessup is a social pariah in the tiny town of Gibson. Just about everyone believes her sweet baby girl Rowan is proof of an affair...but the truth is much darker. To keep her daughter safe from the real father, Laura doesn't fight the vicious rumours.

Only hunky EMT Tanner Hudson doesn't shun her. He knows what it's like to live down mistakes in a small town. But when Laura lets down her guard and tells him the truth about Rowan's father, he wants to help.

The solution he proposes–a marriage in name only–might just be crazy enough to work...if only Laura can keep her heart out of it.

Tanner wasn't sure Laura would accept a platonic marriage, even though it would stop the rumour mills and get his own family off his back. But as the wedding draws closer, Tanner worries that his plan is working a little too well. He's falling for Laura, hard.

They thought they were ready for marriage, but are Tanner and Laura prepared for real love?
