He's the grumpy mechanic who swore off love. She's the sunshine teacher who sees the good in everyone.
Rogue lost everything five years ago. Now he keeps the world at arm's length—until a stranded teacher with a broken-down car crashes into his carefully guarded life.
When his sister needs help keeping custody of her son, Rogue makes a desperate Maeve will pretend to be his girlfriend for one weekend. In exchange, he'll restore her vintage car. No feelings. No complications. Just an arrangement.
But fake dates lead to real touches. Staged kisses ignite genuine sparks. And somewhere between family dinners and motorcycle rides through Montana, the lines blur until neither can remember what's pretend anymore.
Rogue's learned that love only leads to loss. Maeve believes every risk is worth taking. When their arrangement ends, will he choose safety—or the woman who makes him want to live again?
