One marriage. Two strangers. And a house full of secrets.

When Annie Simmons steps in for her sister at the last minute, it’s supposed to be a farce—a sham wedding that won’t even make it through the vows. But thanks to her manipulative parents, Annie suddenly finds herself tied to a man she barely knows and a marriage she never wanted.

Conrad Brenman isn’t just a pawn in her family’s schemes—he’s kind, steady, and far more invested in their future than Annie anticipated. Now bound together by a countryside inheritance and unexpected emotions, Annie and Conrad must navigate a web of lies, family secrets, and their growing connection.

Can a marriage built on deception grow into something true, or is the past too heavy to let them move forward?
