From Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over

Luke Garrison is a hometown hero, a member of the National Guard ready to deploy again. The last thing he's looking for is a woman to ruin his solitude. When the wildly beautiful Harper stumbles into his life, though, he realises she's the perfect decoy: a fake girlfriend to keep his family off his back until he's deployed.

Harper was on her way to starting a new life . . . again. But something about Luke makes her want to settle down in this small town and make his house a home.

Luke never thought he'd feel this way about a woman again. But he knows that he can't tell her the truth about his dark past. And she can't reveal what she's running from.

At least this isn't a real relationship. It's only for a month. It's only pretend. Until it isn't . . .
