The Wanted One

After walking away from a relationship that nearly broke me, all I want is a fresh start. No more trying to fix a man who doesn’t love me, no more giving up my needs to keep things easy—just a quiet life where I can finally breathe.

Then I meet Wyatt Mayfield. He’s a gruff, no-nonsense farmer with calloused hands, a serious scowl, and a little girl he’d do anything to protect. When his wealthy in-laws threaten to take Ruby away, he needs a plan—and fast.

That’s where I come in. A temporary marriage, just for show. Strictly business. No strings attached.

But the longer I’m around Wyatt, the more I see the man behind the gruff exterior—the one who makes me laugh, who listens, who looks at me like I’m worth fighting for.

I agreed to help him out. I didn’t plan on falling in love.

Now, “temporary” doesn’t feel like nearly long enough.
