A secret marriage wasn’t in my plans.

Neither was marrying my brother's best friend.

One night in Vegas later, and there’s a diamond on my left hand.

Ivan Nimitz is the town golden boy. Ridiculously handsome, charming, a shameless flirt. And my new husband.

I’ve spent years under my critical father’s thumb, but I’m finally free and ready to build the life I want: my pizzeria, a baby to love. A husband... not so much. Telling my small town I married their beloved high school football coach on a whim? Hard pass.

Ivan’s sinfully cocky grin and sweet promises are complications I don’t need. The plan was simple – stay married long enough to make my dream of motherhood come true. But late nights turn into lazy mornings, and I can’t keep my hands (or my heart) from getting involved.

As if falling for my fake husband isn’t messy enough, someone’s sabotaging town events, and I’m the one taking the blame. Now, I need to uncover the culprit, figure out if Ivan’s feelings are real, and decide if I’m brave enough to risk it all – before my father makes sure I pay for my mistakes.

Married in Vegas. In love by accident. Now I just have to untangle my feelings…before two lines change everything.
