Her heart is wild. Only he can capture it.
When Cole Ashby is appointed Laurel Creek’s interim sheriff, he is determined to prove himself as the best man for the job. A devoted single dad, his goal is to lay steady roots for his young daughter.
As the daughter of a Kentucky congressman, Ginger Danforth’s life has always been about neat appearances. But inside, she’s dying to break free and embrace the sense of adventure that runs through her veins.
During a wild weekend in Las Vegas, Ginger and Cole play a game of truth or dare and, after a few too many drinks, find themselves hitched in a neon-lit chapel. With no quick way out, they strike a deal: stay secretly married until Ginger’s father is reelected and Cole lands the sheriff job permanently.
But as the pair are forced to spend an increasing amount of time in each other’s company, sparks continue to fly and their accidental marriage starts to feel dangerously real.
Until they forget they were ever pretending at all.
