Ethan is stunned by Olivia’s lie, but as a man of honor, he sees it as his duty to help protect her from the mayor’s manipulation. Charmed by her spirit, he agrees to a fake courtship—only to realize they’ve stepped into a deadly game. The mayor’s interest in Olivia isn’t just political, and Ethan suspects her husband’s murder ties back to a lost hoard of Confederate gold.
As danger closes in, Olivia and Ethan’s pretend romance turns into something real. But with ruthless outlaws, buried secrets, and a town on the brink of violence, will their love survive the truth—or will it be the next casualty?
