Marrying a stranger was never part of Cassie’s plan. But with her parents gone and a mountain of debt threatening to consume her, she sees only one way out-an arrangement that offers security in exchange for her freedom.

But as their worlds collide, lines blur, and resisting the pull between them becomes harder than either expected. Can they keep their hearts out of it, or will their carefully crafted arrangement turn into something real?
