What if the person you love the most is the one you can’t have? Grace has loved Jackson since she was fifteen – when they spent every childhood summer exploring France's breathtaking Ardèche region together. They were best friends, until life took its course and Jackson married someone else. Years later, Jackson re-enters Grace’s life with an irresistible offer: her dream job in the very town where their story began. And he’s newly single. As memories from those idyllic summers flood back, Grace encounters an old friend Étienne, who proposes a plan to help make Jackson jealous. But as their scheme unfolds, Grace finds herself questioning if the sparks between them might not be so pretend after all… Unbeknownst to Grace, Étienne is harbouring a secret that could shatter her world. Will learning the truth finally set her heart free? Or is this the beginning of a love story bigger than she ever imagined?

WELCOME BACK TO BLUE RIVER RANCH . . . Dallas Six months ago, a fire on my ranch took my fiancée. And my whole world along with her. Just when I thought I'd never feel anything again, a six-year-old landed on my porch-with a paternity test confirming what I knew the moment I saw her. Now the people who brought her to me want her back-and I'll do anything to keep her. Even marry the fiery redhead who snuck into my half-built house and charmed my daughter faster than I could throw her out. A fake marriage to keep my daughter safe? Deal, as long it's clear this arrangement has an expiration date. Willow Marrying Dallas Thorne could be the best and worst decision I've ever made. The best because, like me, he's sworn off the four-letter word indefinitely. The worst because he's rugged in every sense of the word and fiercely protective. So naturally, I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Only this flame is bound to burn me alive if I let myself fall.

He's surprisingly helpful and really knows his stuff, even if he's a little awkward...in an adorable way. And suddenly I'm flirting with him? And I think he's flirting back. And suddenly it's been hours, and we're still on the phone talking and ordering each other takeout while he troubleshoots my website. And suddenly we're exchanging numbers and sending texts and DMs every day, leaving voice mails (who even does that anymore?!). And suddenly I'm wondering if it's possible for two people to fall in love at first talk. Because I'm falling...hard.
