🔥 A marriage of convenience. A fight for family. A love neither of us saw coming.

I’m not looking for love. I’m looking for a lifeline.

After a wrongful conviction and years spent clawing my way back, all I care about is protecting my daughter. But the court doesn’t care about the truth. They care about stability—and a single ex-con dad doesn’t scream “safe.”

Enter Paige: quiet, brave, and desperate in her own way. She needs health insurance. I need a wife. On paper, it’s simple.

But nothing about Paige feels simple.

She moves into my cabin with nothing but a duffel bag and a guarded smile—and somehow makes the place feel like home. She reads bedtime stories to Sadie like she’s always belonged here. And when her world starts to unravel, I realize I’ll do anything to hold her together.

This arrangement was supposed to save us.

Now I’m falling for the woman I was never supposed to touch.

And when the people trying to tear my family apart come after her too?

They’re about to find out just how far I’ll go to protect what's mine.

A small-town, slow-burn romance full of found family, fierce loyalty, and the kind of love that doesn’t ask for permission—it fights to stay.

Welcome to Mustang Mountain, where rough roads lead to redemption.

In this rugged mountain town, the Bad Boys of Mustang Mountain live by their own rules. They’re outlaws with code and conviction, protecting their own against anyone who dares to cross them. With troubled pasts and scars that run deep, these men aren't afraid to live life their way. But when fierce, curvy women step into their lives, they find themselves facing a different kind of challenge—one that just might heal the hearts they thought were too far gone.
