She'll marry her enemy to save her ski resort — but their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real.

Description

Fall in love with my enemy? No way.Marry him to save my family’s struggling ski resort? That’s a different story...Getting hitched is the only way I can inherit Snowberry Lodge, and I’ll do anything to spare my childhood home from the wrecking ball–even wear Devlin Buckley’s ring on my finger.Not that I’ll enjoy it.Sure, he’s charming and handsome, and that no-last-names one night stand we shared ended with a fantastically big bang (I saw stars I hadn’t seen in six months, if you catch my drift).But I’ll never trust him–he was working for the company trying to bulldoze my life.Right up until the day he knocked on my door with an offer I couldn’t refuse.Marry him, and he’ll help me restore my family’s crumbling resort to its former glory–and get revenge on his ex-boss in the process. Once our goals are achieved, we’ll go our separate ways.It’s temporary. Strictly business. Purely for show.Until I realize how much I like it when he says "my wife."Once we’re sharing a last name–and a bed–our make-believe match starts to feel a little too real.And if I’m not careful, I could lose everything... my home, my dreams, and my heart.
