Rival Hearts

Have Your Heart Again Publisher's Summary

One week. One choice. One impossible man.

I have one week to marry a Hale or lose everything. My mother's ranch. Her legacy. The only piece of her I have left. All of it gone unless I swallow every ounce of pride and propose to the one man I've spent years trying to forget.

Trigger Hale. My childhood enemy. My high school... complicated. The man at the center of all my problems is now my only solution.

So, when I corner him at my best friend's wedding with a desperate proposal, I expect rejection. Instead, he says yes.

The deal:

One year of fake marriage.

Separate bedrooms.

Nobody knows the truth.

Simple. Temporary. Nothing more.

Except nothing about Trigger Hale has ever been simple. Not the way his touch sets my skin on fire. Not the way he looks at me like this was never fake for him. Not the history we both refuse to talk about.

And definitely not his only condition: "Marry me. Right here, right now."

They say you should keep your enemies close. What happens when you marry one?
