AmazonA cowboy passing through. A woman done running. And a fake relationship with an expiration date.
Ivy Wylde has spent the summer pretending not to fall for Colt Calhoun, the steady, handsome cowboy who is only temporarily working at the Off-Duty Rescue Ranch. But when her dangerous ex-boyfriend rolls back into town acting like he owns her, Ivy panics—and kisses Colt in front of the entire town to send a message. Colt doesn’t hesitate to play the role of her fake boyfriend to keep her safe, but playing the protective protector makes it impossible to keep Ivy in the friend zone.
The fake relationship takes a deadly turn when Ivy digs into the dark secrets her ex is hiding, putting both her and Colt directly in the crosshairs. When a brutal storm runs them off the road, they are forced to seek shelter in a remote mountain cabin with only one bed. By morning, the boundaries they built are shattered, but the danger outside is just getting started.
To survive the threat chasing them through the Montana wilderness, Colt will have to risk everything for the one woman worth staying for.
