His Unexpected Forever

By Jennifer Eve

She agreed to be his wife for one season. She never agreed to fall in love.

Graham Calder has three weeks to find a wife, save his family orchard, and keep from losing the one thing he swore he'd never risk again: his heart.

When Gray is named his town's Harvest Festival Ambassador, the grant money is exactly what his frost-ruined orchard needs to survive the winter. There's just one catch buried in the fine print: the century-old charter requires a married household. Gray is a widower with a six-year-old daughter and zero prospects.

Delaney "Lane" Ashford has thirty days to save her late grandmother's bakery from a developer with an eye on her whole block - and no way to do it alone.

So they strike a bargain. A marriage in name only, just long enough to get them both through festival season. No feelings. No complications. Definitely no falling for the brooding, apple-growing widower who tucks her hair back like it means something, or his daughter, who decides within four minutes that Lane belongs in their family for good.

But paperwork can't account for quiet mornings in a farmhouse kitchen, a storm that changes everything, or the moment Gray realizes the marriage he agreed to for a grant might be the only thing in three years he's actually wanted to keep.

When the truth about their arrangement threatens everything they've built, both of them have to decide if the family they faked is the one they were always meant to choose.
