After a tragedy that changed my dad’s life—and mine—things were finally returning to normal in our small town of Timberline Peak. After the last two years, I was ready to claim the legacy I’d worked tirelessly for by stepping into his shoes at work. Until my ex-boyfriend and former coworker, Canyon Kane, showed up to ruin everything. Again.
With the bane of my existence breathing down my neck and vying for my dream job, the last thing I need is more scrutiny. But when the vet who saved Echo, my search-and-rescue dog—after a mission gone wrong—turns out to be the other...
After a tragedy that changed my dad’s life—and mine—things were finally returning to normal in our small town of Timberline Peak. After the last two years, I was ready to claim the legacy I’d worked tirelessly for by stepping into his shoes at work. Until my ex-boyfriend and former coworker, Canyon Kane, showed up to ruin everything. Again.
With the bane of my existence breathing down my neck and vying for my dream job, the last thing I need is more scrutiny. But when the vet who saved Echo, my search-and-rescue dog—after a mission gone wrong—turns out to be the other Kane brother, opportunity strikes.
Atlas Kane might despise his brother as much as I do, making him the perfect partner for my plan to ensure my ex doesn’t get in the way of my dreams this time.
A heat-of-the-moment decision leads to a kiss . . . and a deal. Atlas needs to rebuild a relationship with his parents after a decade away, and quiet the gossip about why he left and what hes been doing with his life since to earn the towns trust as their new vet. And I need to secure the job Ive been dreaming about for years. Which would be a hell of a lot easier without the gossip about how Im going to handle the man who broke my heart being back. Pretending to date solves both of our problems.
Each date has me realizing that Atlas isn’t just a partner in this scheme—he’s everything I want for my future. With my dream job and Atlas’s reputation on the line, faking it was supposed to make things easier—but as the lies start to add up, it’s clear that falling for each other might cost us everything.
