I ran from a forced marriage—and fell for the man sent to sell me back.

I own a small-town diner and a name that isn’t mine anymore.

Then my father dies—and his grumpy, devastatingly controlled lawyer walks in to drag me home.

He’s sharp-edged, handsome, and loyal to a will that treats me like currency.

I hate what he represents.
I crave him anyway.

The will’s marriage clause traps me—and my siblings.

A road trip back home turns into a snowstorm.
One motel. One bed.

And somewhere between duty and desire,
I fall for the one man who might cost me everything—
including myself



Author's Note: A slow-burn, heart-clenching romance about family duty, forbidden desire, and choosing yourself.
